I've got big plans for my dam, but unfortunately not a big enough wallet to implement those plans. It's my wet season swimming pool. Having grown up in the country, the thought of swimming in a dam with muddy bottom, leaves, fish and whatever else doesn't phase me. I'm quite used to it.

This is beside the dam, the tree in the distance is a Ficus benjamini. Behind it and barely visible is a Swamp Mahogany (actually a couple of them). The palms to the right are Carpentaria acuminata (native to this area). Behind the palms are Pandanus pacifica.
