Pond Life continued!

When I first considered making a pond in our garden in England, I didn't consider the impact the lay of the land would have on its construction...

As you'll see from these photos, there isn't a level patch of ground in the whole garden and when you're making a pond, that matters!

Then from this point there are steps down to a lower garden...

 

And so on.... Get the picture?

It was a lot of hard work to build up the lower side of the pond and at the time I thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew..

However, it was finished..

and several years later we have captured a scene which has made it all worth while..
From this...

to this, in just a couple of days...

And even better, we were able to film its first flight...

And we've seen several more since, though not another "first flight"

SO glad we have a pond!!
