It's a good sized sink hole. Little silver fish were all around and even in the grass where birds have dropped them.
Sorry, I wouldn't know how to post a picture if my life depended on it.

But I do recommend a drive to see it. Also, check your insurance to be sure you have sinkhole coverage. There is another sinkhole in Belvedere that drained a pond. Make sure you have that insurance!
This is where I would like to hear it from the horses mouth. Janet Tutt.
I hate for anyone to worry unnecessarily. Bogie? You seem to know how to connect with her.

But even if it is a sinkhole, that doesn't mean we are all gonna get them.
It could BE a sinkhole and they ARE draining it for repairs and to SEE the problem, and then they pump some kind of concrete stuff or something into the ground to repair the sinkhole. It could have been the truth, you know. Also the ponds are interconnected, it doesn't mean they BOTH have sinkholes.

Or it could mean the end of the world is coming. I don't know ****.
