a lot longer than the FIRST time, and I had HELP! At least this time I knew what I was doing; the first time I was more or less winging it based on keeping tropicals for decades and saltwater fish for half as long.

heh, I THOUGHT the way I was doing this (setting up a showcase) was in DRAFT mode; didn't expect anyone even KNEW yet what I was doing! Sooooo, you snuck in whilst still in the construction stage. Done for now; will do 2021 very soon!

Thanks for the looksee, @j.w !!

And, YES you did!

It showed up in the approval que so I approved it, that may have kicked it out of draft mode. And it said deleted so I removed that word.

glad to know what happened! Thought it was odd the 'approval needed' alert wasn't coming up anymore! Glad I was uploading and posting more or less as a finished product!

And I never saw any 'delete' but glad you did your voodoo magic! Would have hated to have had to re-upload everything!

Thanks, addy!

You posted this all today?? IMPRESSIVE!
aww, wasn't that bad, I think it took 3 hours or so; I already had 9 of the years organized with 'best pond pics of year XXXX', so just had to whittle the number down to 20. I was asked by another member concerning documentation of my bog v2 and they couldn't find any further info ala a showcase, so asked about it. I was already planning on adding later after the holidays, so just jumped in and started uploading what I had. Not many have asked so I guess I never thought it was a priority before.

Thanks for looking, though!

Thanks, Boss, for the compliments! It was kind of a nice walk down memory lane and I said to my wife who was looking in toward the end of showcase creation, that I couldn't believe how such and such changed in 11 years! So, the work wasn't painful at all!

Wow. Besides the pond, my favorite part was getting to see what @brokensword looks like. The image in my mind has been dashed.

Those turtles are funny. And the frog with the (is that duckweed?) on its nose. What a great shot!
