I think those stripes will get a good trashing if that happens.
The pond needs to be closer to the house so you can attract the birds in and use a shorter lens!!

No Problem! Dug quite a few ponds.



Yes, had a beard back then, 1972 I think...

Drainage is the problem, if ducks get in they make a right smelly mess. Perhaps some appropriate vegetation...

Do you plan to put the spoil around the edges to create a raised effect?

That would also save wrecking your nice lawn, so not such a silly thought. :lol:

Well there's a large walnut tree, two ornamental trees and my studio in the way as well...so it would need a looooong reach, and radio direction even for Mr Ps experienced hand. :lol:

Well Jan wants a Monet bridge under the Weeping Willow around a pond with lilies and irises and a stream running to it with a waterfall. I should never have taken her to Giverny
:whip:

I told her it would be frozen solid...because I would do that shortly before Hell froze over.

:lol:
