That is a beautiful photograph! You are truly a man of many talents. And to think I was thrilled to see the first leaf coming up today after this long winter. :^)
Moving pond to new location
Very beautiful work Dinu. Your thriving new pond.
Isn't it amazing that we can share all your hard work and creativity with you?
I hope you pond is a very warm, welcoming environ for your family and guests.

Thanks. I'm so glad it is becoming a place for all of us to frequent. Some visitors who come here [esp. for attending homeopathy classes every Saturday - our home is a free venue for 2 hours], esp. those who are new, look at that in awe as if they had not seen a pond in a house premise before! Yes, it is warm. A rock pigeon regularly visits for a drink. Here it must be the same pigeon, accompanied by a house crow. The summer heat is making them to look for water and I'm so happy my premise provides them. A bulbul comes to the bird bath, also a magpye robin, which bathes happily, sings and flies away, also a koel comes to drink in another bird bath. It is so satisfying to see these creatures leaving and living near the place happily. I put some broken rice grains here and there for the pair of spotted doves that almost always loiter near our house.
When all else is frozen here, our stock tank heater keeps an area of our pond thawed. We have many animals and birds drinking from it. Some we witness, while others just leave behind their tracks if it's snowed lately.
Reflection of house in the pond. Summer is getting warmer and in a few weeks it will peak to 100F. I'm using a hand fan mid way into this post!
I've just uploaded some 30 pictures in my webshots album of how my pond came into being. Take a look here:

Dinu,
It is so good that you have a record of this wonderful accomplishment. You should be very proud of yourself.

Happy,
I'm happy and satisfied, rather than proud. I'd like to put it that way.
Dinu
That was a good correction for me. Thank you.
