Going for it! phase one 12,000 gallon pond.

That top one should be framed and on someone's wall!

I agree!

@GBBUDD how are you doing the underwater shots?

They are not underwater those fish were coming up out of the water after a bit of food that is in the clump of moss, you can see it in the photo . They are climbing up on the floating log In the main pond

You should sign up for one of those artists sites and make prints of these photos! That top one should be framed and on someone's wall!

For 179.99 it can be yours on a metal print or canvas.
THANKS

It did come out pretty nice its my newest desk top. I should say the heck with pond building and go to photography it's a lot less physically demanding.

I was out at the pond for a couple hours trying to better it last night. as I have the wild oinion blooming and the night/fairy lilies all around hobbit falls and to each side of the main falls in bloom. But the light didn't cooperate.

Stay tuned. Funny thing about photography some times less is more I may never better that shot above.

Mazal Tov!

But why are the future newly-weds not having their photo taken on the backdrop of your pond? Seems like the perfect spot! In fact, that would be a great sideline: charge folks to do their wedding shots at your pond!

Ah! I see that now! One of our koi used to practically crawl out of the pond to get food - it was amazing how far she would push the envelope!

Great shot!

Well that particular fish not 5 minutes before was fighting for food some how got turned around and only his head was in the water . Tail was kicking but they don't do so well pushing them selves in the air. Most of the body was blocked by the same log, but I do have a shot or had not sure if I kept it . I'll look.

We were recently talking about that. Problem with that is my town has a 12 foot 8 foot wide waterfall and the graduations and wedding generally go there.

The couple were not even posing . I prefer candids and that was one of them they had no idea I took their picture.
Unfortunately today photography is a dieing breed everyone has a cell phone and everyone's a photographer . However I think you'll agree the last half dozen shots I posted blow away my usual cell phone pictures. There's no comparison.

Walk down of the pond talking about how to make natural looking edging

 

[addy1]

Nice job!

 

[cas]

Nice to hear your explanations on your pond edging design. Learned lots.
And I loved all the closeups of the edging. Exactly what I would be looking at if I were there in person.

 

[GBBUDD]

Thanks @cas but it's @addy1 who deserves the thanks she asked me to make another sticky but this one on edging. I still have the stills and Wright up to do. The video was the easy part. It's just hard to listen to my gruff commentary.
