Finally had my camera with me when the robin decided to take a dip.

I had a Robin taking a bath in my bog the other day but it flew off when I tried to get a picture of it. Glad you could capture the moment!

Ugh. I have have had a rough start to my pond season. I dug out my skimmer box to raise it since it has slowly been settling these past 15 years. Well, I ended up raising it too much. So I had to dig it up again. Then I created a fold in the liner by the skimmer and caused a leak! A week later, the pond is up and running, but I have to rebuild and landscape a portion of the pond. No pictures of the mess. To depressing.

Oh, but the good news the fish look fine!

Hey it happens! Always something when you have a pond. Glad you got it fixed

I wish I had some of your expertise. Our waterfall has settled We hired our pond built and the waterfall is mortared together and hubby isn't interested in tackling that project. It still works, but I know it could get worse and I think that side of the pond is lower also.

Oh well......we're never finished with pond work ! So glad to hear your fish are all fine Mine too !

tee hee... I wouldn't call it expertise @Tula . It sure didn't go very well!
My falls box had settled too and I fixed that years ago. I had to remove quite a few rocks, but I was able to do it because none of my rocks are mortared.

Pond skimmer put back and side of pond rebuilt! Let the pond season begin!

Thanks cas, just been busy and haven't had much to say about the ponds.

It was a long cold winter so glad to finally get outside today. Got my filter back up and running and did a small water change on both ponds. All my fish survived and I even counted 6 babies that were born late last summer/fall

Boy has it been rainy here. I've been enjoying my pond from inside the house lately. I love that I can see the fish from inside too.

 

[Tula]

Your pond is lovely ! I can sort of see the fish from inside, especially if I'm standing at the kitchen sink

Beautiful pond and all of the landscaping!

Quick picture of the pond this morning just as it began to rain.
