The reeds add a great touch Kurt. They are not always there, I have yet to figure out the cycle that causes them to grow some years and other years there are not a single reed or brush in the water.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
