The beer bottle is such a cute look.   I'm confused, if you have beer pouring into your pond, how is it so clear... lol

Your pond looks great, so clear.  Keep the pics coming.

Ponds are like patato chips, ya just can't have one.

The bumble bee is good. Unless you have super fast film/digi - its impossible to catch them mid flight because the wings are moving so fast.  o(:-)

Once in a 45 gallon tall fish tank, I had an unusal set up.  I took a wine bottle, and ran an air line down in it.  Had it tilted up on a big rock so the bubbles would flow upwards.  I took a small wine glass and a rubber band and suspended it on the brace of the tank lid.  The bubbles would flow upwards into the glass.

Thank you all. I wish I could find the culprit who littered my pond with the bottle. I originally wanted to use a bottle of Corona. I bought a 24 ounce bottle. I even went out and bought a expensive $12.00 drill bit that was suppose to cut through glass. But the bottle cracked when I went to drill a hole in it,so I settled for the Lite bottle. :(
 I also sealed the back of the bottle with some aquarium sealer.

Nice & clear water in your pond & really like the shape of it.  Bottle is a very clever idea.  O0
