Why is it when you look in a pond from shore objects are not what they appear to be?

I believe the objects are what they appear to be, but not where they appear to be. This is due to the bending (refraction) of light waves as they travel through the water. The light coming to your eyes from the objects must pass through water, and then transition to air. The angle at which the light hits the boundary between the air and water determines how much the beam is bent. If you look straight down at an object in the water, it will appear to be in the correct place and orientation, but any other angle change the light, and therefore distorts the image.
