Kedi-Gato's pond

I've decided to separate the pond pictures from the other garden pictures. I'll repost some of the old ones and then only put new ones in this thread.














The dark pink water lilies -




The pale pink water lilies -

 

These photos were taken this morning around 10.30.







These next pics are taken at the back of the pond.

 

Nice sized pond Kedi, everything looks to be doing well.
Whats that plant with all the fluff attached?

 

Thanks Pete, the fluffy white things are cotton grass, and they come back every year and bloom for over a month!

kedigato those pink water-lillies are stunning what a fabulous pond some size since you took these last photos, well done

 

Thank you rosa. If you fancy sketching anything, please do so.

 

Thanks, Kedi, its well named.

 

That's some pond K, one day when we move and I have a proper garden....

 

Thanks Strongy, a pond is really worth all the extra work as there is so much to see in and around it, never mind trying to get control of the various plants that grow worse than weeds. I wouldn't be without ours!

 

I snuck up behind this guy this morning on the look-out for something to eat in our pond -



Then I acutally managed to get a snap of him from the front -




A few tamer views -

 

He is a very fine fellow- is that mosaic on his back?
Your garden is very beautiful, how big is it?

Thank you Liz, Gogs and Marge. Yes, it is mosaic on his back Liz, I have a cat done like that too. I'll take a pic of him and also 2 stone cats I have and post them another time.

Following text copied from another thread -

"Our plot is 977 square meters but we have a very long driveway, a large parking area, a shed and then the house and the Wintergarten taking up quite some space. But we still have a good-size garden. I guess if you chopped the driveway off then the rest of the plot might be about 30 x 30 meters."

I just love the Cotton Grass and it lasts a long while. Ours is just now seeding after blooming for a good month, it's very soft and silky to touch.
