Nice here as always for weather (Ventura, CA). Another 75F day. Normal
for Summer. Fog in AM, Sunny in afternoon today. No real humidity (So CA
is desert). Hot inland. 100s in the interior of the state, to be sure.

And that's why everyone wants to live there and the real estate is so
high... even in depressed times (from the outside looking in). ;-)

That aside, you've made your yard into a beautiful welcoming area where
anyone would want to get out of the house to go sit & relax. Absolutely
lovely... magazine article quality. :-) ~ jan

Thanks Jan,

We spend a lot of time out there. have a portable fire pit that we put
out for gatherings in the evenings.
That's when the fish show themselves, anyway.

Amazing how these fish are still spooked from the Heron that came well
over 2 years ago. Hard to coax them out, but hate the thought of
removing so much of the surface greens. I still think it's prudent to
leave the big flat rock in that acts as a cave for the fish.
Only problem is, they all hang out under it.

Yours is pretty awesome!
Hindsight is always golden with ponds.
From what I know now, I would have made a larger pond- pretty well maxed
out the area it's in now, so it would have had to have been planned for
when I originally landscaped the area.

Another pond would take up too much space.
