What a great garden. I am very jealous. But then, I wouldn't know where to start with a garden that big. I think i'll stick to my window box for now.

Smashing pics all, I too would love to have a pond, maybe one day......runs off to check lottery ticket.

Led - those were taken on a mobile phone cam? Gordon Bennet - you must have one wicked phone. Photos taken on mine look as though they were drawn by a three year old.

My mobile phone is a Nokia N73 and has a 3.2 mpix camera with Carl Zeiss optics. It has quite a few things it does including sport, close up, portrait and others. I am really pleased with it as it is always on me whereas I don't always have my Sony Cyber-shot DSC -H3/B with me! Thanks for your comments, Chris x

i'd love a pond... but the downstairs neighbours might object.

Hey Laurence, does that mean I get to jump to the front of the queue

Just seen this thread, great ponds everyone, I love yours Osprey, all wild flowers as far as I can tell, Purple Loosestrife, Marsh Marigold, Monkey Flowers & Flag Iris

Smithy garden pond - really need to sort it out, as we're concentrating getting the house sorted, the garden is falling by the way & waste side! Come this Autumn I want to seriously plant new things & clear - this is how it looks at the moment:





Then there's the cottage pond Spending so much time at the house that the garden & the pond is turning into a jungle - one day!

This is a photo of my friend's pond when it was raining. The photo was taken on my mobile phone camera.

Emy your ponds are wonderful, both at the smithy and cottage and teeming with wildlife! I like them as they are

everyone has beautiful ponds here, so much better than mine

That's the way they should be - empty of fish but full of rustic charm!

Here's my pond - designed for Toads and 16 x 10 x 3' deep..

These were taken this afternoon and show the water lilies on my friends' pond. Hope you like them!

Great photos everyone! I love ponds, especially ones with water lilies!
