Working on a backyard pond. I did this much last weekend and got more rocks last night. I plan to add flowers and the pond filter in the spring. I'm also thinking to possibly add a slow growing tree and some outdoor lighting. The area on the foreground will be paved with my grills, the little fire pit we have and some outdoor seating. New sidewalk will go on the background side - a dogleg from the back steps to the driveway.
Morning... looking good evil..I have a large ceramic bowl and plonked a water Lily in it..
I use to have goldfish in it but the Kookaburras cleaned them up..they are great snake catchers as well...
I got some taddies last year and only saw one that had turned into a green frog..will have another go this year getting more taddies as I Iove hearing the frogs when it's raining...this is last year's flower..
The bowl at the moment, the pads are just starting to come to the surface again and the flowers won't be far behind..
What is will look like when all the lily pads come out and the flowers..
Very nice. I liked the night sounds as well - miss them now.
Very nice Shona1. I like it. I've been meaning to do this for years.
fish in a barrel ...
Morning...they are like stealth bombers.. don't see them and you hear them after the fact..
Sitting in a gumtree laughing while the bowl is empty..
But I do love Kookas, they have a very unique laugh and great personalities...
You've got some amazing passtimes to keep yourself busy..
Thanks. My back hurt for two days doing that little bit. LOL...

But that's purple and WHITE - these are just purple.
Except it's not WHITE. It's two tone purple.
Okay, it's your call.
Not really. It is what it is.
And I am what I am, even without a burning bush.
Gates I have encountered.

They have spectacular gates.
I found this little statue in an antique store today and it cracked me up, so I bought it. You would naturally position it like the bottom photo, with his face innocently peering outward. The other side reveals that he’s playing while he has a giant tear in his pants. It’s pretty detailed too, ahem. Not a bad conversation piece for ten bucks.
Thanks all. See you next time.
