Meandering Stream and Pond


A sloping yard calls for and demands a stream. My husband, Jerry, just kept stacking the caliche he found here and there. This is no ordinary stream. The water from the upper pond in the yard syphons out and down the stream to the lower ponds. Then it is cycled back up to the main pond. Cool!

All sorts of critters love it. We have seen a green tree frog, toads, lizards, black chinned and ruby throated hummingbirds, a snake, and a myriad of insects all around the stream.
