Some pics of my Pond
 
Hello all,

I have been a frequent lurker for years and rarely ever post but I
thought I would share a few pics of my pond.
Right now its overcrowded with water lettuce but it's ok because I
live in the Phoenix area and its extremely hot so this helps a lot to
keep the water cool. otherwise the water temp is about 90 :-(
The first few pics were of the pond in 2005 and I only had a few fish
and some anacharis. Since then I have dug it out to make it bigger and
have 20 + fish. all types of goldfish and a few Koi.
I have been waiting till it cools down again and I'm going to redesign
again. I have a new pump and a submersible light to install and I'm
going to make my own skimmer and hopefully be able to install a bottom
drain.

Hi

We have a very large pond and also have the overcrowding of the water lettuce and also what we call duck weed which when the lightening struck our pond a week ago grew like made in a couple of days, we have fish in ours of varying types and try to keep ours looking very natural around the edge to encourage wildlife.

That is really lovely! I have a thing for rocks and very much like how
yours look. I didn't realize that picasa had a picture site - it is a truly
wonderful bit of freeware. So glad you posted. Donna

Hi Jan,

Sorry I dont remember the name of it. I know I bought it at Walmart of
all places :-)
They sometimes have a box with like 3 or 4 pond plants in it and
that's where it came from.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Donna,

Yeah I would like to get some more of those stones but I have been
having a hard time finding anything that matches.
The great thing about Picasa is the size they give you is huge and the
Picasa client you install on your computer makes it super easy to
upload to your assigned web space.

Have fun,
Chris
