Fish pond...

[Clydetz]

My gf loves building fish ponds. This is about a 100 gallon fishpond in my backyard. She built one in her
backyard which is about 1000 gallons.
The plants around the fish pond are bloomin' & 3 frogs & 2 tadpoles have been added by my neighbor!

Tools for new plantings (Calla Lilies & Blue Salvia). Shovel is very important but so is the glass of Chardonnay!

So peaceful!

Caught in the act of planting & weeding the pond area...

She does nice work.

Very pretty & peaceful looking.
What kind of fish do you/her enjoy in the ponds? Koi?

 

[Clydetz]

No fish yet but it will be inhabited by goldfish soon. The gf has about 40 goldfish in her pond and her daughter just recently spotted a 2" turtle in her pond... probably a snapping turtle.

Very serene space in your back yard. How did you get Seymour the Seagull to pose so well?
We are working on a water feature in our back yard. Thanks for a dose of inspiration.

My brother has a little pond in his yard filled with Koi, or it was filled with Koi until one night he spied a troop of Racoon in the process of cleaning out and dinning on all of his Koi! LOL.

I fed him some cement & he's been like that ever since. :biggrin: Good luck with your water feature.
It is really relaxing to sit out there & hear the water trickle. Looking to build a waterfall next. You can
really get carried away with these ponds.

Ours is a pondless waterfall. We've been picking up rocks from every where we go. It's gotten to the point we need to spend money now. We have a big concrete frog that would get along with Seymour.

My gf has about 4 frog & 3 turtle ceramic figures around her pond and another 3 'real' frogs and 1 'real'
turtle in the pond. You have to be careful where you step! :1:
This is a photo of her self-built pond at her place. Has to be about 1000 gallons. She has since removed all the
'spiky' plants to free up more space for her goldfish.
