I'll blame Jared..

Ya I do love the sectional too. Its nice and confy! I could sit there for hours.. if I wasn't getting roasted by the sun LOL. Next up on my to-do list is to throw up a gazebo over the sectional. Well, maybe not an traditional gazebo but at least a roof with maybe screen walls/doors.

Wow absolutely gorgeous. Love that platinum butterfly! I'm on the search for one myself at the moment, told my bf its my only birthday wish lol!! Your pond is just beautiful. I really like the modern look to it... Makes me want to convert my "naturally looking" pond to one like yours! Uh oh.

After looking at this entire thread I noticed I have a number of koi and one shubunkin that look almost identical to some of yours !! I'll have to post some pics

Thanks! :-D Ya, I do like the natural look as well. However, that look just wouldn't work for the space at all. So instead of trying to fake out a natural pond setting I decided to make it more contemporary.

The platinum butterfly is definitely one of my favourites as well. They are hard to come by.

Looks stellar as always Kien! Any problems with fish snatchers this year?

I did s a Heron one morning sizing up the pond but I chased it away and never saw it again. Have not noticed any missing fish :-)

Actually I have a lot of fry right now as the koi went all 50 shades of gray on me this past spring.
