Gorgeous. I love Yucatan, have been 4 times. Your pond reminds me of a small cenote.

[Julles]

Robie, that is beautiful.  It looks large, too.  I love the iron work against the stone.

Well Dora is a lucky turtle....and looks like you were able to divide the pond nicely so he can have his side and still have beautiful plants....

Hi Robie, Very nice home you have made for your Dora the turtle  I love turtles and had five of them when I was a little kid. They were just little babies they used to sell at the pet stores. I made and outdoor little pond for them and an enclosure. I thought I would put some tadpoles in just for fun and watch them grow into frogs. Uh oh that was a mistake.............turtles liked it very much and they chased the tadpoles and tried to eat them up. I fed my turtles raw hamburger and lettuce and some kind of turtle food after that and no more tadpoles as swimming buddies

[Jonna]

Dora is beautiful! and your pond too.  I can't keep water hyacinth alive in my pond, I just got another plant to try again but it all died before.  I think the PH is too high. 

Anyway, beautiful pond.  I'm in Mérida too. 

[HOWELL]

Great pond and love your turtle.  He looks so friendly!  I will show my turtles how well behaved your turtle is to you!

[HOWELL]

Yeah thanks, can we make this arrangement this august because now well this saturday I am going to be in saltillo because I start summer courses, I just got back from there as well.
And yeah robie thanks. Is that price for next day shipping or something?
BTW lovely lillies.

[Esther]

love Dora. I wish my turtles would stay but they all just leave. The gift lily from  you mom is nice. Too bad they all don't stay like that one> LOL

[Kittyzee]

Your pond is beautiful, and I LOVE your turtle.  Dora looks very healthy and well-cared for! 

I especially like the nymphea your mom gave to you.  Nice work Robie! 

[Jonna]

Yes Robie, send me the link.  Is this the foro el estanque?  Howell sent me a link to that last year and my spanish was not good enough, I may try again. 

If these lilies I have survive I will be happy to share with you, Howell and Jorge (Isais).   Have you been out to Hacienda Xcanatun?  They have some beautiful ponds and koi but all in shade.  I also saw a Great Blue Heron there when we first arrived     

[HOWELL]

Jonna I have no idea where that hacienda is at.
As a matter of fact I've never been that south well, I've never even been to Veracruz, the most farest away as I've been south may be Guadalajara.
But hope some day I will see cancun and yucatan as I always hear from others how beautiful it is.
I've been farther north.

[robie]
