Our Backyard Sanctuary

These pictures of our pond were taken May and June of 2002.  The pond was built in September 2001.  If you have ever had a pond you will know how they change from year to year and it totally looks different now.  Sorry we don't have any current pictures.  The Koi totally destroyed the water lily so we no longer have that water lily - good thing we took pictures.  Since we put the ponds in we have all kinds of wildlife including a family of owls that occasionally come to dine; they must think this is the Inn On the Green.  If you are wondering why the beach ball in the pond it's to discourage the owls - seems to work some.  The fish are much bigger now.  We have Koi, Shubunkins, gold fish and Plecostimus (algae eaters) in the pond.  They are spawning now (April) and we already have some "babies".    

 

This is our Outdoor Paradise.
