Where's Waldo?

We have a beautiful fish pond in our backyard. Every shovel-full of dirt was dug out of the ground by our family about 10 years ago. Vince was very enthused about the pond-building process. Over the years, we have all enjoyed hearing the trickling waterfall, and watching the koi and goldfish. The problem is that during the spring, the lilypads become very prolific, and then it becomes almost impossible to SEE the fish. Vince cleans the pond filters every week and patiently throws a few fishfood kibbles into the water every afternoon, watching, watching, watching....if we look closely, the lilypads move during feeding time. That tells us the fish are still IN the pond, alive and well. I think we should thin the lilypads so we can enjoy looking at the fish, however, in Arizona summers, the lilypads provide much-needed shade and lower water temperatures. See if you can find Waldo (I mean, the fish)!
