Columbine

[windrider86]

These are in my back yard garden. I had purple ones as well but dug them up in order to bury Angel


Any my water garden. The flowers are gone and the pads are about done. I have 7 goldfish that are about a foot long each. Far too many and far too big for this pond.

I didn't know that there were red Columbine. Very pretty.

You better start digging for a bigger pond for those fish of yours!

I'm telling you what. My old house had a huge pond and I spent a fortune on Koi. But they were always getting eaten. So I decided not to spend so much and bought a dozen tiny lil feeder goldfish. Ha ha. 3 years later they are huge and only lost a couple. go figure

I remember seeing a post with the Koi .. didn't you leave them out one winter?

Anyway love the flower shot but your other one i cant quite work out as to me it looks like a fairy grotto, its probably me and losing it in my old age

Howard, yes I leave them out all winter. They sort of hibernate.They all huddle togther in a line, its kinda cool to see. As long as there is running water the water doesnt freeze and for those times its gets super cold I have a trough heater that I will plug in.
The other photo is a night image of the pond with my new lights I put around it. The thing on the end is a big frog with a fishing pole
