I'm posting a "before" picture and this is as far as we've gone so far. The plan is to make a dry stream bed to appear coming out from the corner of the back yard and ending in our filled-in fish pond. The pond isn't shown as I took the picture from upstairs window & it couldn't be seen from that angle. I titled this post "risky photo" because heaven knows HOW it will turn out!!~

I am sure it will turn out beautiful just like the rest of your gardens and projects.

(I expected to see something really, really risky - snort!)

well, come on - you looked too didn't you?

SSTR, looks like you have a good start! Have fun!

I think we need to check & see what VE has been drinking lately...she seems to be feeling her oats!

Very pretty yard! My friend had a creek put in her yard by a landscaper & really enjoys it!

Vera's not the only one whose mind was in the gutter! I was thinking maybe a picture of a Nak*d Lady, or, I have a couple of hostas...one is named Str*p Tease, and the other is named H@anky P@nky!!

You gals! LOL! Why we decided to add the dry creek bed to our landscape is we filled in our fishpond with dirt because coons had eated our Koi while we were in Kansas and because we are gone a lot, we were a bit concerned about the pump stopping and last but not least, it had developed a leak and required drainage & new pond liner, etc, etc.

(Continued from above) So, as we loved the bridge over the pond connecting our two decks, we decided to make it look like water was under the bridge by using rocks. Then this led to the thought "well, we need to create a pretend dry creek bed coming through the yard to the pretend pond. We do things ourselves and am hoping it all turns out as we visioned!!~

Great idea and it's looking good. your yard is pretty.

Yes, Vera, I did look! LOL Bwwaahahahahahaa.

Oh, I do love the idea of an artificial creek & pond...I really need yard crashers to come to my yard. LOL

I though she meant "risque" too! LOL! I thought it was going to be insects or squirrels/birds doing their thing.

Nice yard, I like the dry creek bed idea...we have two of them, not for decoration but because we really need them for water runoff. I like the way they look year round though.

hehee
