Looks great & kitty must think so too!! Looks like it will be very inviting. Will need couple of chairs or bench nearby to enjoy the view when finished. Looking forward to more pics! Jan

Very nice bridge! Did you buy it or make it yourself? I can see kitty has laid claim to it. Are their fish in the pond to entice him while he's crossing the bridge? Your pond looks wonderful as is, but I'm sure it'll be even nicer when you're finished!

That is so nice, it's nice to have such a large pond to put it on. That is a precious pic of the kitty.

Your bridge and water garden look great! What a nice addition the bridge makes...and Kitty looks like he enjoys it too! What a great picture!

lovely looking bridge

Super job. My question too did you make it? Kitty is sweet!

WOW!
Quality workmanship.

That is a beautiful bridge and kitty too. I'm wondering if you made it also.

Wowza. Furface is a doll too!

Looks cute! Enjoy your pond! So relaxin' to sit & watch the fish! (I can tell your kitty feels the same way!) Jeanne S.

I love your pond and new bridge and your kitty too! Did you build the pond yourself? It is wonderful, so restful looking. The bridge fits in perfectly.

Is your cat a Maine coon cat? He/she looks it. Very handsome feline! I had a Maine coon mix for 22 years and still miss the old gal.

When your Cat approves, that's when you know you did a really good job! LOL,
Seriously tho, your pond and bridge are wonderful and I'm green with envy.

hugs, Karen

VERY NICE!!! I have Pond Envy!!!lol! Have been trying to get my pond in for more than a yr now!!! Finally decided to place it in a raised garden bed, dug out, so won't get to do a bridge, but sure like "normal/natural" ponds. Am still recovering from a full hysterectomy so won't be hauling a big rubber liner around anytime soon...but I have all the stuff...fish/liner/pump/filter/plants...pond dug out(6ftwx10ftlongx4ftdeep)I did get the arbor bases cented in(will have planters and garden danglies over the pond to deter heron...Your pond certainly is Eye Candy to this gal!!!!

Thanks guys!

I put the bridge together myself. Does that count? LOL! It was a closeout kit from a local store. I put it together and varnished it and sanded it about 3 times.

Yes I built the pond myself. It was a LONG process. Really. I started last spring and have re-dug it about 12 times. Not kidding - 12 times. Today I noticed that the water level is dropping so, now that I finally have it all finished there is probably a hole somewhere and I will have to take all the rocks off again! It never ends!

Catty (Catalina) my cat is not a Maine Coon, but my friend has a maine coon that looks exactly like Catty. They could be twins! Except Catty is only 7 pounds and my friend's cat Roxy is 20 pounds.

I just put the fish back into the pond yesterday. I have 8 big ones that I've had for 2 years and last year they had a ton of babies - I counted almost 100 last Fall. A bunch died during the winter, so there are about 25 in the pond now. AND I have a frog in there too! It showed up this Spring. Yay! I really wanted a frog in the pond.

*sigh* if only the water would stay IN the pond!

Wow, you have been working hard! Hope there are no more leaks! You did a nice job on the bridge! (kit or not, lots of hard work!) I'm glad a frog found a home in your pond...just wanted to share a pic from last yr of leopard frog who lives in my pond! You can see some tadpoles swimming, too! Ponds are beautiful but TONS of work!...I hear ya! Jeanne S.

You did a wonderful job on the bridge and the pond! Catty looks very handsome on the bridge too. Be sure to post more pictures as the plants start growing around it.
