Yet Again Our Pond

I pictured this pond yesterday and the water level was very low during the night and for a large part of today, we have had heavy rain here.  This rain has filled the pond up to the desired level, at which I wish to keep it after I have dug it out fully and put in a liner to replace the original puddled clay base.  I have used this as a blip, but I really wanted the picture for me to use as guidance, when I eventually get around to doing this job, which is quite low on my priorities list; the house has to come first.
