Description
As some of you may remember, back in July we had the Great Turtle Adventure where we drained the “Frog Pond” to evict Snappy the Snapping Turtle. We were left with a nasty mess in a big hole. Ray had the bright idea to clean it up and make it another koi pond. Thus began our Summer Project. To make a long story short(er), it is now finished except for actually transferring some of the koi from the original pond. The frogs have returned and put up with my occasional foray into their waters to adjust a plant or aeration stone and the daily skimming of leaves and little green “stuff”. It is once again fun to sit in the gazebo and watch the frogs sunning on the lily pads or statues. I counted eleven yesterday. Don’t know how they will react when the fish appear. Hope you like the photos.

Fabulous work my friend... Very great capture too !!!
awesome, well done
Looks amazing my friend...Is it true frogs can suffocate koi in spawning season? I have heard they attach themselves to the fish clamping over the gills...Not sure if this is true or not..I have koi had them for years but only ever had one frog who stayed for a short while.
Looking good!
You made a lot of work in your pond, very cute photos, excellent collage !
Oh Teri, I love it. What a beautiful pond. I can't wait to see pictures of the koi. They are my favorite. I love it when they will take food from your hands. What about the hawks? Do you have to worry about them? Hugs sweetie.
Fantastic job on this, Grandma! Makes me want to sit there all day long. This is beautiful.:)
Well, it does look like you had your hands full, Teri! But what a great pond, and I love your frog photos (or is that phrog photos?)
It must be a real delight to relax and watch them. I just love frogs - they're such comical critters. I can't look at a frog without smiling. Great series of shots!
A very fine series of photos, GT! Love the results! Makes me wish I could see it in person! Excellent work on this outdoor setting!
