A pond is an inland body of standing water, either natural or man-made, which is smaller than a lake. It undergoes marked changes as time passes, and the most obvious changes that one will notice is that one form of plant follows or succeeds another, and the different life forms that make the pond a lively and busy place.

There are plenty of opportunities for exciting discoveries at a pond, and this set of stamps, (1st Local and 2nd Local) with its intricate designs, shows 2 more commonly found plants (the Yellow Burhead and the Water Lettuce) at a pond, adding to the variety of species that were shown in previous releases.
