The Pond

The pond was destined for the corner of the house yard but as I filled it with water, Kayla was having a wonderful time swimming in it. Thus I had to rethink the pond. Figuring that the spray from the solar fountain would keep Shelley away (she hates water), I put it just outside the house yard fence. The pond has elodea, duck weed, aluminium plants and a pink lotus plant - also snails to keep the water clean.

The solar fountain is endlessly fascinating. When there is enough sunshine the water spouts but it stops when a cloud passes overhead.
