I love it!! Going to the kitchen door to look out is a wake upper. Just as the sun is coming up I am greeted by one cat, about 30 gold fish, a jillion tadpoles, 3 tiny roosters and a hen, maybe a hummingbird, and a few birds at the feeders. The cat, fish, tadpoles, chickens all want food. The others want to get to the feeders. I wonder if the tadpoles will remember when they become frogs that they were fed.
This pool is less than 10 ft from my backdoor.
Beautiful! Very peaceful.
Wow I love it gessie! It sure sounds like you have some happy critters, too. Post more pics!
So pretty! I wish we had room for a bigger pond in our back yard.
Wonderful pond! You mention tadpoles, how did you get them? I have recently put in a pond and would love to attract frogs, toads, etc. Don't feel right taking them from natural habitat and I live in urban area where they don't occur naturally. Any suggestions on sources?
solegypsy, what is that famous line: "If you build it, they will come." That's what happens in my case. I live in town, no where near any bodies of water, but every spring the frog chorus starts, then we find the ropes of eggs in the pond. A few days later hundreds of tiny tadpoles. I love sitting on my porch and listening to that chorus; I feel like I'm out in the country. You should see the water boil when I feed the fish/tadpoles. This picture, even as unclear as it is, gives you an idea of what I see every morning at feeding time. That's a goldfish in the lower right corner; no, they don't seem to eat the tadpoles (though, they easily could, they're big "little fish" The white stuff is fish flakes.
