My Backyard Retreat

I recorded this little four-minute clip of my backyard pond and spa and titled it "My Backyard Retreat." The pond is annually stocked with about 50-100 koi and goldfish and is home to a fairly large freshwater turtle I rescued a few years ago on Kernan Boulevard From early spring to late summer several varieties of Florida Leopard, bull and tree frogs and toads invade the pond to sing and mate, and occasionally an osprey or egret will fly in to feast on a careless fish.

Cool video! (5 - STARS!)

Thanks for posting it!

I help run a free Pond share website.

It would be great to have some more pond people join in and share their pictures,videos, and stories.
