Ponds & Aquatic Plants

Our First Snake Siting

12 years ago

The first year with a garden pond is a wonderous experience! I love watching the natural echo system take over and the new creatures who decide to visit and make themselves at home.

Two days ago we noticed our fist snake. He's about a 2 foot long skinny little garder snake.

I named him Alan, he seemed to like it.

:) Happy ponding!
