Okay. The fish are at it again!! I guess it's our fault because over the weekend we had to cut down, or more like
chop down, the iris's and long grass, which grow around our small pond as the wind had flatten it so badly we couldn't see the pond at all. To the four fish, three frogs and
seventeen newts, who live in the pond, it must have been the equivalent of having a small forest come crashing in through your living room ceiling!! So now, only the water lilly is left, meaning....the fish are feeling frisky again. I've had to put a garden rake down at the shallow end, (their favourite end)
to stop them actually leaping out! They are quite clever but watching a fish wiggle and splash about in little or no water,, across the rocks until it reaches and falls a short way into the 'ditch', just gives me goosebumps!! And finding them in the 'ditch' which leads to the well, (a dustbin in a hole in the ground where the pump is kept) gives me the hebbie-jeebies too! But, as I have said before, they have this knack of getting my attention when they are in trouble. Anyway, meet
The One That was Black, she's the one calling for 'Help!'
The One That was O
range, now Pink, he's the one chasing her.
The One That Doesn't (bought with The One That Jumps, who we no longer have) and the little one,
The One with the Tail (because it's tail is long and pretty) After the excitement of the frolicking fish, this beautiful electric blue damsel dragonfly appeared.
Back later with a card and a link to some Freebie Papers!

These are beautiful Lynn, great little story. We used to keep a pond years ago....had to make it bigger as the fish / carp needed more room. They say that when they jump ...which i used to love watching them. it is them being frisky risky lol bless. Such beautiful pictures and a lovely pond hun. I miss ours but cannot manage to keep them now :-(

aw, thank you Lisa, the pond really should be bigger, it wasn't made for the fish, they just happened to come along in the pond weed, and hatched!!
