Build It They Will Come

Life around and in a water garden.

You know you did good when every one wants a place.

Under The Waterfall

Life moves on.

Kharma A K Word

If my circumstances reflect my actions I need to become much Kinder.  In the last two months my Canon died and required 44 emails, almost two months, two shipments and numerous calls to have warranty repair completed.  Andrew's truck motor has blown (Ford).  My printer doesn't work (Canon).  My computer (Alien-Dell) blue screened. Andrew's phone (Apple iPhone 6S Plus) has stopped working two days after unconditional return (Verizon), warranty does not cover it since there is a scratch on it and insurance has a hundred fifty copay.  I would not ask me for a recommendation on any of these brands nor on their company's customer service.  I would not be KIND.

On the brighter side of K there are Klingon, my favorite, Worf

Koi

and my Ki-Anne.

The Koi

welcome 

the warm days

and food.

Feeding The Fish

but

Junior picks

the fish food he wants.

The new Koi food enhances their color.

Wonder what color Junior will be?

Water Garden Before and After

The Koi troll in clear waters

The more I looked the more unnatural it seemed

So I started over

More moss and some rocks rearranged.

My top rock with a hole feeds into my new holey rock.  

 The water then runs over a volcanic rock

 into a small pool 

where the water runs through that rock's hole into the stream. 

The water runs completely through moss

 that works as a natural filter for the water garden.

None of the inhabitants are complaining.

The frog even seemed pleased with his rusty toolbox full of moss.

Shabby chic meets a water garden.

Photography Challenge...Kinda

Last week I discovered a blog where they presented photo challenges.  Since I am photographically challenged, I thought it might be fun to join in the fun and learn from the other participants.  I wrote the challenges down but failed to note the blog address.  So here are my challenges with the photos matching the challenge.  

It's hay season

(what) I'm looking at...a spider on a swan statue

Koi in motion

It means a lot to me

Darling Pit Bull Bonnie

Photographer's choice

Water from a pump

So I did take photos with the challenge in mind 

but my mind can't remember where to link it!

Found it!  Scavenger Hunt Sunday is the link for last week.

Attempting Tetractys

i

can not

write on cue

it never comes

forced art is an unremarkable art

art is born with wings flying from the soul

born of itself

giving voice

with faith

For Imaginary Garden With Real Toads

while trying to learn new forms.

Topping Off...

the water garden, removing some leaves and playing with rocks and a camera, that's what I did.

The Koi thought they were up town with the extra fresh water flowing in addition to the water fall. They swam and played like Spring's calves.

Even after the water hose left they played Ring Around The Rosy, uh, Rocks.  I think this tractor tire has had a good life.

Krazy Koi!

A Mysterious Sighting

The Koi have appeared

Cautiously but still here.

A native Bull frog thinks he's invisible. 

Bonnie is pouting because we lied to her about the fish.
