Stock Pond


You can judge a really good farm by the condition of its stock pond.  This one is particularly nice.  Location:  between Nacogdoches and Crockett, Texas

This scene looks so calm and pastoral. I love farm lands.

Yup, it's very nice. Some of my first contacts with Texans was via phone from Wisconsin where I worked for an aerial photography company. They would call up to see if we took pictures of their place and would talk about having "tanks" in their pastures. Now, me, being a northern girl, would have called these "ponds". It took me a few times before I realized they were not describing army equipment or metal drinking containers.

A far cry for the desert, eh? Out here we call those "lakes". :-)

My uncle's farm in Illinois had two wonderful stock ponds. The one in the upper field was a great place to fish...if you didn't mind the cattle joining you occasionally. :)

What is a stock pond? I am thinking fish, but I have no idea.
