Pond Prospectors Pillows

Sooners! Opening day of fishing.

Wildlife

Fisherman Evolution: They have evolved over the years with three distinct species...the largest of these is the coarse fisherman.

Water Gardening: One thing is certain - you will find the peace and tranquility of water an almost irresistible attraction.

Frog to other frog: 'Hey, nice pad.'

"Where's all your fish?" "I never should have bought 'coy' fish."

Garden pond: mosquito breeding ground

"It's a beautiful world out there, just waiting to be discovered. Well, discovered by one of you, the rest will almost certainly die."

'Thanks, we really appreciate this. Yeah, the middle button. Don't worry, it's auto-focus - just aim and shoot.'

'Hey, Baby! How would you like to kiss the frog formerly known as 'Prince'?'

But there are other pleasures still for the fisherman's delight....for nature is everywhere about him.

Mother Duck.

"This blood knot ought to be re-named the blood, sweat and tears knot."

Business Duck

"I can't wait to start growing limbs so that I can use a tablet..."

'My horoscope said I was going to make someone happy today.'

'I'll say this for you young Thoreu - he certainly does make good use of his pond.'

Six frogs leap off their lily pads.

Ducks look alarmed at 'No Swimming' sign.

'We get a lot more wildlife now we have a pond.'

'Its that final touch that makes it seem just like a natural pond.'

'I can't shake off this feeling we're being watched.'

"She thought he was a good listener. Turns out he was a decoy."

Meanwhile back at the pond 'Wow... nice pad man!'

"That's brilliant Mr Beaver: These wooden platforms are a lot more durable than lilypads..."

Vernal Pond: Here today. . . gone tomorrow.

Water Gardening: And you will find yourself thinking over many garden problems at the waterside.

"Well, I'll be darned. It does come with its own creature."

'It's so embarrassing. My mother had my tadpole tail bronzed!'

'My ultimate ambition is a large pond.'

"Why don't you paint a picture – it'll last longer."

An occassional clean out should prevent unpleasant smells.

'You know why they call you an old coot, because you are an old coot.'

Peter's Natural Principal: 'I'm way over my head in this pond!'

"Ha! You mean you've only caught one fish all day?!"
