Especially Selected Images Of And Around Our Pond

[Big Lou]

Due to my boneheaded attempts to adjoin EDPM liners we have rebuilt and rearranged our pond several time over the years. Such rework had a devasting impact on the overall theme and look of the pond. Here are images of the older pond and its landscaping. Just for fun I'm including older flower photos. One last note, I've also included a shot of our current pond looking its summer time best. Hope you enjoy.

All lovely pix Lou and you have such a nice looking pond there. I know you don't have any fish in there and was wondering how you keep the mosquito's out of there now or do you?

Thanks J.W.. Maybe one day our pond and gardens will again look so good.

We control mosquitos with mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) also called Gambezi along with Mosquito Dunks http://www.homedepot.com/buy/12-in-mosquito-dunks-6-pack--110-12.html#.UO9XTGt5mSM. Gambezis have tradionally handled mosquito larvae in our pond but since the West Nile virus is so prevalent in our area the Dallas County Health Department and our city strongly encourages the use of mosquito dunks.

Great pictures Lou. I had mosquito fish in my arizona pond, they breed like crazy used to swim up the stream

I love your water fall and how the plants grow right up to the pond

Great pictures, your pond looks so natural with the rocks and plants, like something you would run across in a lush forest

Pecan, your compliment is the highest praise we could receive. The natural look was always our goal. As noted in my foreword to the photos the liner rework caused the demise of the "true natural" look. Since becoming a member of this forum my wife and I now hope to bring our pond back to its glory.

Thank you. 
