#pond stuff

Some random pond pics from the summer, as well as the weird bird bath I built by my window (which was also popular with the frogs)

When your beautiful goldfish enjoy the duckweed you trekked out to the middle of nowhere to get for them :)

come talk to me about anything!!!!!!

Progress pics of a pond in building

Please enjoy this video of my pond, with frogs calling and a surprise ending

Time for a pond update! I got some more rocks to build with, maybe this year I'll attract lizards! I wanted more Arkansas fieldstone but the rock store only had sandstone. It looks weird right now, but it should darken as bacteria and fungi grow on it, and I'm also going to try staining it with oak leaf tannins and black tea. Last fall's tadpoles are still around, possibly starting to grow legs?? Hard to tell. I've also got fish again and nothing has eaten them! There are plenty more rocks to play with, but I ran out of energy and had to stop at the point in the first picture.

Here's a video of some fish foraging! I was trying to catch the big tadpole burrowing in the leaves too, but he stopped moving. You can still see his tail, but it's hard to spot without movement.

Enrichment for the fish, or for me?
