Four more. Not much in the way of water plant as most of the pond is new. Next season for sure.

Is your pond is part of the tour? Everything looks exceptional. I particularly enjoyed the frog water spill with the tire- very creative!

Wow that's a beautiful pond and garden. Hope the tour went well. I really like the pump and spitters. Nice bridge too.

Very nice. Looks wonderful.  O0

Our pond tour was earlier this year and was a HUGE success. 8)

I love the frog pot spill way. Where did you get that unusual frog pot?  8-)~

Cheers,

Jeff

What do you mean "Midwest" tour?  You mean from town-to-town, or even state-to-state?  How many ponds?  What an ambitious tour!

Here in Houston, our major pond tour is spread over three counties, but basically all in the greater Houston area.  About 15+ ponds Sat. and 15+ ponds Sun.  It's a LOT of driving, and, even going ninty to nothing, you can't make them all. 

But soooo fun!  And you learn so much, come home all jazzed with new ideas, and get an eye-full too boot!

Stunning!  I love your pond and gardens.  I am so envious of those perfect rocks, too.

Tour went well. I was part of the tour on Saturday 14th only. Went to 11 other ponds on Sunday, 20 ponds the previous weekend. Spred out over 2 weekends in 4 regional areas. Greatest distant visitor was from Reinlander Wisconsin. He got a lot of photos of birds bathing in the waterfall. The birds in my yard are not shy around people. The frog water spout is a plastic flower pot I inserted a 1.24 nipple into and get outflow from a small filter. Our club is at www.mpks.org. We have a koi and goldfish show comming up next month. Lots of vendors from all over the country. Largest goldfish show in the US last year. thanks for all the good coments

models916, I'm so sorry I missed your beautiful pond. It looks so nice! We couldn't do the pond tour this year (again) because of "kid" stuff. The Wauconda Rodeo, and the Beach Bash. This happens every year... will I ever get to a pond tour?  :(  >:( :-\  ;)

Love your pond!! 

I went on a pond tour this weekend too, in KC.  They are always so much fun.  I think ours had close to 50 homes on tour.  I didn't get to even half of them but had tons of fun! I needed the break!! It was great!

Visit anytime. If you are in the area you can give me a call. No big deal showing off what you spend loads of time creating.
