Garden Stream.

I thought I would share some pictures of the garden.

This is just one of the many fountains that we have in situ.

We call it the leaky tap as it is solar powered. 

You can't see the solar panel that sits to the left of this picture 

just out of camera range. 

Now that the garden is again fully south facing

(No we have not installed a giant turntable)

 just finally won our 20 yr battle 

with the local council to remove the 4 trees that overhung our 

property making the garden in shade the whole time. 

Now as  soon as the sun hits the solar panel the tap pours water into 

the bucket which overflows  into the water butt below.

It doesn't actually overflow into the stream below

but I designed it visually to look as though it does. 

We have newts in this part of the pond

The stream has stepping stones across it

in two places to get to the shed and also

to the stone circle which has table and chairs on

You can see the first stepping stone below

and a little bit of the stone circle in the top left of 

picture below.

After the second stepping stones 

The pond narrows down to a narrow stream

and this is where the frogs live.

The entire pond plus stream runs from 

one side of the garden to the other

so about 20 ft long as the garden tapers

down as this point. 

There is also a pond outside  the kitchen window

 at the top of the garden in which

more frogs and toads live plus another

spieces of newt and the dragon flies

like to frequent. 

No photo to show here but there is a funny story

attached to when I was digging out the hole

for the said pond liner to go in but

I will save that for another time.
