Your kitty is so brave! My cats are still scared of the pond. I think it is the 2 waterfalls making so much noise!

Haven't posted much lately so here are a few of the lilies and the bog where I can no longer find the frame or gravel!
Last pic is PITA, the little koi we had in the small pond up front. When we put him in (after trying to catch him for 3 days, hence the name) he was 2 1/2" and solid dark orange. 3 months later- 10" and changing to white with pale orange and long fins. I think some one pulled a switch on me!

Lisaebetten I'm pretty sure Calvin is convinced that we built the pond strictly for him. It is now his playground. He chases frogs, sits on top of the bog wall and survey's his kingdom. I think he loves it almost as much as I do.

Groomed? I can't even figure out where to start. Made the mistake of putting pennywort in there and it has spread like wild fire .I put one small handful in and now the entire bog is overrun!

If you're going to use waterfall foam for the first time, practice before actually using it in the pond setting..
It comes out of a new can fairly strongly, so light pressure is required. Wear disposable gloves, or you'll regret it. Remember, it expands so apply it in layers. It requires a minimum set-up of about 15 minutes. If you find that you've applied too much, the excess can be taken off with a knife.
Most people don't have one, but the professional gun is definitely the way to go.
