Here are some updated pictures of the pond construction. This is one of the garden ponds being worked on. This pond is done and home to turtles now so I will update with more pictures later today or tomorrow morning.

As you can see I decided to remove the rocks from the edges to get a more clean feel to it.

(I am consider painting the house to protect it but I really like the gray cement against the plants and the feeling that gives so I am not sure.)

Nice!:1luvu:

Do you white-wash in your area? A white-wash will still keep it looking 'local' but may keep it looking tidier, if you know what I mean.

Might also help delay wear and tear on the new structures...

delay wear and tear is the alure but I like how algea etc grows on the grey without a white wash. It looks a lot tidier in reality than it does on that photo. The camera donīt capture the light very well.

Sorry... don't mean to ask a dumb question but... is there a reason why I can never see any of the pictures that you post, William? All the other forum pics show up just fine, except yours, and I would really like to see the ponds and the rottie pup!

You are not worthy to see them:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

See if you have dropbox.com blocked or listed not to load images from. the pictures are directly from my dropbox so that might be why.

In the meantime I attached them with this post.

Good to hear that you see them. What did you need to do to see the original ones?

I will update with new pictures tomorrow.

Dropbox is blocked at work (whether specifically or by category, I don't know). I reduced my security settings on my home computer, but honestly I forgot to check before doing that so I don't know if that made a difference, or if it was only an issue with the company firewall. Thanks for answering the mystery because I didn't understand all these invisible pictures that everyone else was commenting on (it didn't show any indication that there was an image in the post, so I was starting to think I was losing it...)
