Even Hummingbirds get thirsty

Just some random photos. Lilies are looking great and the Iris are starting to bloom. The dogs have started noticed that there are things moving in the water. The Lotus have started to put pads above the water. Probably no blooms this year though.

Random Photos

Just about finished with landscaping. These are just some random photos of the pond and critters.

Turtle out of his Shell

The turtle must have been hungry, because he was pretty brave today. hanging out right in front of me eating.

Jay and Aliza

Jay and Aliza visiting the pond. Aliza gets really exited to see the fish.

The sharks seem happy. It's cool to see them grazing together like cows.

New Fish - Chinese High Fin Shark

Just got a couple of new fish. They are called Chinese High Fin Sharks. They are an algae eater that will eventually get to over 2 feet long with a huge dorsal fin and live for 15 years. Pretty stoked.

Mini Deck

I had an epiphany last night about what to do with a bunch of scrap redwood left over from the bridge. I built a mini deck that's great for feeding the fish.

Lotus Day 9, the pads are getting larger and the second pad is almost to the surface.

Oh and the Panama Pacific bloomed again, stunning.

First Lotus Pad

Two of the lotus have opened their first pad and another one is on it's way.

Also, had a Red DragonFly visit today.
