You've done a great job on that. Looks like the water is clearing up for you too. Of course the bear is the highlight!!!

Very nice. Did you add pond dye?

Nice! I like the way you dealt with a flat yard.

Absolutely stunning! And love the bear. How long did it take you from start to now?

For others who might be like me and missed this history, here is a thread with picture progress. Yay!

yup, I added that blue dye. And the entire bottle. Was frustrated with the green pea soup and read that adding the dye would kill the soup. But it is taking so long to dissipate.
I am into my fourth month. The digging with the shovel took forever.

Hi kougs,
your pond is fantastic...I looked at every picture and you did just the best job....I can just see you sitting on the deck with a cold something in hand and admiring what you have done and enjoying every inch....
I didn't read how deep is your pond? I bet you can deep fish and plants in there year round....thats one thing I would do different if I could and that is make my deeper so that my fish and plants could survive the winters here.
mn,
thanks for posting all the great pictures....linda

Thanks to all for the awesome comments. Linda, the pond is 15ft x 10ft x 4ft deep.

I'm currently attempting to hand feed my Koi. This will take some time to accomplish. I'm patient.

Lovely pond, and I love the bear! I wonder if it would scare away the blue herons....?
