Never out of projects I'll be finishing the pond as it Is now and then the next is a dripping cascade. Covered in moss and liverwart.

I think Tucker wants to make close friends w/the fish but just can't quite figure out how to catch them!

@j.w when it comes to Tucker trying to catch something mouth to eye. Eye contact sorta speak. Mr Tucker rides the short bus you could be throwing an entire stake up for him to catch and all that would happen is he would make you lol because he would flap snap and swing his jaws around but always missed. Catching is not tucks strong suite.

I have had lights for years but now they have become a focus and not just light to see. And is more the ambiance and completing the package. We even had an admirer

Have mentioned in earlier posts how effective the bog is yes seeing clear water is a pretty good example but what always shocks. Me is how little time it takes to take water that i completely disturbed working on ripping out plants. And the water getting so cloudy you can barely see a 2 foot long bright orange fish right at the surface. So today while out early in the am to beat the heat and pulling out 5 weeks of over growth of forgetmenots , water cress, and others the first picture shows how bad the water was. The second photo was an hour later and the third was just shy of two hours.
Now above the floating tree log the water is 1 to 2 feet deep at the falls. And it drops to 4 feet bellow the log. And at the bottom of the photo is 6 feet deep. The rest speaks for its self.
