   Your garden is simply lovely Linda. Hubby did an amazing job with your pond. I'm bet your garden gets more beautiful with each passing year. Don't ever move.

   Linda, that is one of the nicest ponds I have ever seen. Beautifully designed and integrated into the landscape. I have a bad case of "pond envy". The initial photo is so inviting, how about having everyone over? Love the iris photos against the water. The hydrangea serrata is so beautiful. Thanks for starting my day off right.

   Do you have alligators? I sure hope not! Your property is stunning. Thanks for sharing!

   Oh wow! I'm with Kevin - pond envy....but I think THE nicest pond I have seen. Lay on grocery delivery and I would never leave the place. What a great job you have both done. Thanks for sharing.

   You and your husband have done such a masterful job seating your pond into the land ...it looks so natural. I love how in the first picture it gives the impression of curving almost in a kidney shape. Your plantings have a very pleasing variety of tall like the canna to low and ground hugging. Shh, don't tell Mother Nature, but I think you guys have done just as good a job as she would have. What kind of critter life inhabits the pond?

   So many areas that you could sit with your coffee and take it all in. Just beautiful!

    Your magnificent pond is an incredible backdrop for your lush gardens. Love the clumps of purple Tradescantia pallida (we called it Moses in the Boat, grown as a houseplant when I was a kid). Nice iris and peonies, too. I'm surprised that they do so well in your climate. I would have thought it too warm. You've a lovely retreat!

    Your pond is truly wonderful and is the ideal setting for your beautiful gardens... together they are perfection. I especially love the way you have planted your beauties, nothing is fussy, just full and relaxed. I can't imagine a more beautiful and restful back yard! I think I need a hammock so I can close my eyes an listen to the frogs croaking as it gently sways back and forth!

    Good morning Linda. It must be a treat to be able to view the water from so many angles and to see all of your lush plantings reflected in it. Your peonies and hydrangeas are truly gorgeous. Give your husband my compliments on a pond very well done.

    Linda, I thought I had posted earlier this morning, but evidently did not finish the posting. Your personal 'Garden of Eden' is so beautiful. The pond, the iris, the tree peony and all the lovely plantings you and your husband have added are breath taking. We are all envious. Curiosity has my wondering how close you live to the Coosa River and Lake Martin, having traveled many times through your neck of the woods on my way between Atlanta and Birmingham.

    Incredible!!! I want to build one on my back acre. I want one I can swim in :)

    I agree with all the comments. Curiosity - do you get lots of mosquitoes down your way? Do you have fish in your pond? Love the last picture the best with its rich colors.
