T-manns post in a thread gave me an idea.

How about everybody that has pictures (and I know we all have pictures), posts two or three pictures, a before and a after.
The empty naked yard, or new neglected pond, or whatever was your starting point and then the grand finish. Which we all know is never the finish.

my preformed went in before there was grass .Dog or rodent goes near my pond again and there will be hell to pay .I wanted to do all in ground like a natural pond but septic tank was in front yard and all the underground utilities are on the other side in front yard .I knew we were going to build the covered front porch .I wish mine could look like yours pecan or addys ,but it was a no go .I wanted to view it from the front porch and hear it from there .I love the natural ponds on here and can enjoy them.Should be question included here what made you want a pond

I like the shape of your pond jb and jw pond would be my idea if my porch was lower and the septic tank was not right where the wishing well is .Plus my underground gutter pipe runs right next to my pond also and did not feel like moving that .

I have been very lucky Sissy, there are no utilities at all under ground in our back yard. We have had it blue staked several times. Sewer runs under the front lawn, gas and water under the driveway and power overhead. I think you have done amazing things working around your stuff underground!

I just noticed something in my 2nd photo up there. What the heck is that blue thing. It's nothing of mine and I don't have any lights or hanging things on poles in that area. Must be some kind of reflection but how? Weird!
