Water gardening cat ... some pics
Hey folks,
Enough with this labrador monopoly, us feline lovers should fight back ;-) Some pics on this page (with thumbnails) : http://www.wide-o.net/summerpond2003/ Warning for modem users: pics are rather large. IMHO, the best one I ever did was: http://www.wide-o.net/summerpond2003/PICT0011.html Almost looks like an alien ! Enjoy :-) Cheers, Theo PS: amazing to find out that all of my 4 cats are pretty scared of the fish ! |

LOL
I have to admit I never see labradors on our fence swearing at me :-) Oh, and the cats are great for heron control too. When they see one they just... erm... run inside. Darn ;-) |

Theo, what wonderful pictures! Your pond has filled in nicely, and the fish
look so, well, well-fed! I love RedCarp! Your camera must be very fast: by the time mine clicks - the whole frame has changed G! The pond must give you a lot of pleasure.

Almost looks like an alien ! ... Shhhhhh, don't tell everyone! They are aliens, here to take over the world. They're just starting with a few, small backyard ponds, then moving up to larger and larger accommodations as the PORGers fall under their hypnotic guidance (just one more pond -- build it and they will come!).

Theo, Those were some of the best pictures of a pond that I have ever seen.

Admittedly, Theo took great pictures of a great set-up, but let's not
dismiss the photo ops for those of us with Labs & semi-labs: in my own case, I offer for your perusal 1 Lab/Cocker Spaniel combo -- throw the ball far enough and you'll never see her again......or 1 Chessie/Lab combo (note: we know her mother was a Chessie, but her dad may have been a Greyhound, I think) As to the photo ops for the above -- after you tire of the "dog retrieves tennis ball from pond after drinking from fountain," I admit that the photo ops dwindle to: "dog barks at fish to give tennis ball back" "dog alarmed by frog" Sigh...... as Dave Barry says, "I am not making this stuff up." Would someone please remind me why I have wildlife *other* than fish? Pleeeeeeeze?

Those are some great pics! You should be proud. I am tempted to make
Red Carp my desktop pic he's so cool! Very nice job. |

So the feline lovers fight back with a picture of a cat scared by fish,
eh? ;-) Yeah, I think I need to work on my strategy a bit, I'm not sure that I outgunned K30a LOL ;-) Shhhhhh, don't tell everyone! They are aliens, here to take over the world. I think I just found their antennas ! Mind you, they will probably have to swim upside down to contact the mothership. Tee hee hee! Great picture!!! what kind / model of camera are you using? I bought a Minolta DiMage 7i last year. It's what is fashionably called a "prosumer" camera, non-pro range (not an SLR), but as good as it gets for a consumer type of camera. It can do pictures, videos (1 minute) and sounds (you can record a soundbite with your pictures), 5 megapixels etc etc... These pictures are actually made with a lower quality setting (as I like to put pictures up on the web). Not cheap at all (I guess about 800 USD) but very recommended if you love taking pond or cat pics. I think it is replaced by the DiMage 7HI now. http://www.dcviews.com/specs/images/mi_7hib.jpg for a picture. Theo |

Thanks Lee.
I just point the camera when there are no fish in the frame, then by the time it clicks, hopla ;-) Lots of pleasure... you can say that again. It is killing my social life, as I tend to be around the pond as much as I can. I love studying their behaviour (they each develop their own very distinct character), am amazed by the "copycat" group behaviour (a new fish nibbled at my fingers after 1 day in the pond, just because it saw the big ones do it as well, the koi also copy golden orfe behaviour and vice versa.). My DW first thought "oh no, another hobby" and wasn't convinced she liked fish 5 years ago... now her hightlight of the day is putting her feet into the water (I give her a salt-dip first LOL) and have all the fish swim "against" her. Very addictive :-) Theo "Lee Brouillet" schreef in bericht ... Theo, what wonderful pictures! Your pond has filled in nicely, and the fish look so, well, well-fed! I love RedCarp!

Thanks folks, appreciate it ! :-) Will not reply to each post, but don't
take that as rude please, just don't want to hog the NG. Forgot to say that on this pic http://www.wide-o.net/summerpond2003/PICT0003.html (top centre) you can see how the pectoral fin of a wounded koi I bought is growing back like nothing happened. Only thing missing is the color, but I'm told that might come back too. Theo Theo, Those were some of the best pictures of a pond that I have ever seen. Your pond is beautiful. Doug |

My cats also took a shining to the pond initially, but the frogs now scare
them away! A quick pic of the 2 older cats debating whether the frog is hiding nearby or not... http://www.quickmire.com/temp/catspond/ "Theo van Daele" wrote in message ...

Very very nice ! :-)
What type of cats are they ? I really love the snowy-white look. My cats also took a shining to the pond initially, but the frogs now scare them away! A quick pic of the 2 older cats debating whether the frog is hiding nearby or not... http://www.quickmire.com/temp/catspond/ |
