Thanks for all the kind words! It's really a labor of love, isn't it?! The fish are so much happier in their new surroundings, and the yard is so much more enjoyable. Joanne and I never dreamed of this a couple of years ago when Blade asked us, "Would you like a water feature between your deck and the other yard?" I think the key has been to have great builders: Blade and Michelle Mullinex, of Hooked on Fish, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the pond and yard landscaping; and Jaime Pacheco, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, for the patio and landscaping from the pond to the alley! They, and Joanne, let me do most of the designing of the stuff, and then did a great job putting it all together. Here are a few more pictures from the other day, mainly of some of the fish.
