I love the waterfall! One of the most beautiful waterfall in a pond I've seen.

Yes--more photos!! It's just beautiful--lots of hard work went into making your pond and gardens look like that: a labor of love.

Picture perfect! I love the gazebo. You could rent it out for wedding photos, or weddings

What is the little structure with the windows and door in the background next to the gazebo?

We call it 63A it is where I threaten our 23 year old son he will be moving in! It is a storage shed. Thank you for all great replies. Was anyone able to see website?
Your all welcomed to visit if your ever in New York.

Look close the for the dragon fly

My beach in my garden

Every time I see your pictures I get more jealous! Everything looks great. I wish I had that kind of space. I'd be happy to move into 63A.

I love dragonflies, how big is that one? Does anyone know of a good website to identify dragonflies? I looked for a while once and the only sites I found were very difficult to navigate. . .

Ps. Did that tiny lily make it?

I have no words...speechless here...I wish that whenever I get my own house I will get to have something like it...

Frogman,

Thanks! The funny thing is, you linked to the very dragonfly I was trying to identify last year, the blue dasher. I wasn't sure that is what it was until just now. I said this in another thread. This weekend I was face to face with a female hovering about 18inches away from my head (as I cleaned up the pond) laying eggs in a partially submerged lily pad. She ignored me and laid eggs for several minuets. I assumed that it was the female version of my resident blue dasher since that is the only dragon fly he did not chase away. Now that I have seen this link I can confirm that the female looked exactly like the ones pictured.

I had seen this site before but couldn't figure out how to narrow down my search to come up with the name. I was just fumbling around. I am probably just missing something. . .

What is that beautiful variegated plant that the dragonfly is on? It's so pretty. But everything is there.

Thanks for sharing it.

It is called Hakuro Nishiki Salix integra Dappled willow
