Hi j.w. Thanks for the pumpkin welcome ! I also have a golden named "goldie" ...

And JB, thanks for the welcome. You have a beautiful pond there ... Great picture, and i see from the corner that you are a photographer so you'll have to stop by my house in Boston next time you are in the area so I can get some good pic's of my pond !!

Thanks, Steve

I am not sure if this will help you or not but Walmart carries a floating alligator with eyes that light up red if you choose to turn them on. It was $20. I got one and it is cool. It did take in a bit of water though. Might help you keep the bad guys away.

Welcome! Sometimes you have to take what the members here say with a grain of salt, LOL ! Do you really want to know what one of the first things a new ponder will say? "I shoulda made it bigger!" But, hey, half the fun is in the dreaming & planning, sooo.... There's nothing wrong with a cute pond!

cute does not mean little in my opinion it means you made it look nice .The bunny the angel and the pumpkin mean cute

Welcome and I love your pond! Bigger is not always better….my pond is 1700 gallons and for awhile I kept thinking I should have gone bigger, but now, it's all I can handle Kim

Welcome sdame great looking pond.

 

[sissy]

feel the same way tula .Mine is around 7 thousand gallons by the pond chart and it is all I can handle or have time for .You have to think about what you have time for

I believe you. This guy caught a bird a day for a few weeks this summer. I don't mind him catching and eating them - a guy's gotta eat! - but the catch and "release" (aka spit the now dead bird out into the pond) was annoying. They are fascinating to watch when they are stalking their dinner - they look more like a cat than a frog!

One day he got tired of the birds and that was it. Life at the pond went on!

Hi Everyone, thanks for the compliments and tips ! I really appreciate it ... I've been looking around at pictures and you all have great ponds !

Lisak1 - That frog picture is awesome .... Did you take it ?

BlueOrca - Canadians or MapleLeafs??? Bruins here ... My pond and that stick bench unfortunately have a tragic background... My 19 year old son Stephen, ( www.stephendame.org) died in an accident in 2008. He was an outstanding hockey player and I made the pond as a memorial place his friends could visit. His team mates and coaches donated sticks to make that hockey stick bench ...

Dave from Indiana - going from 7000 to 19000 gallons .. .awesome. I couldn't see any pictures, maybe I'm missing something so I'll keep looking ....

Addy1 - Thanks !

Mmathis - Ya, i guess 'should've made it bigger' is the number one line around here ..

Just plowed out from the storm last night here in Boston .... Gonna look around the site now at the ponds and dream about spring ....

Thanks ! Steve

I would like to post some pictures of my pond if I can ever figure out how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I post my pictures to Photobucket from my phone and then you go to photobucket and then I copy the IMG link which you can post right here in the thread. The picture should show up after you hit "post" or you can go to "more reply options" where you can "preview post" to see if the picture loaded properly.
