So, sometime during the spring the courtship of McDermott and Francis (after the actress) our pond clouded up badly and spawning was happening, but due to the newly added koi- I expected no fry or tadpoles would survive. I was OK with that as our first goldi/shubbie spawn last year netted us about 50 keepers, some of which we will rehome next year.

Well, lo and behold we have at least two green frogs which survived the jaws of Sinatra (my biggest blue-eyed koi) and at least one fish which I have only caught a glimpse of.

I am sharing a few of my favorite frogs with you as well as my first water lily. Enjoy!

We, so far, have frogs and water spiders coming to enjoy the pond that is not done yet.

But it is holding water!
