Richard and Kathy's pond is a 10 foot by 20 foot water wonder, built in 1997. The sides are made of redwood and landscape timbers. Built to blend into the deck the wood is all stained to match.

The filter is hidden at the top of a zig zag water stream. The top of the filter is full of water hyacinth to help filter the water. A shallow beach is also incorporated into the stream for their feathered friends.

The stream flows back into the pond completing it trip through the filter.

Leonard the lucky gander keeps guard on the yard and ponds. If everything looks OK he may even get to fish a while, keeping his fishing pole in his hand at all times.

A second pond is an above-ground pond. Measuring 8 feet by 10 feet, it is completely above the concrete surface. Hardy water lilies find this as a great place to call home. A small hippo overlooks the water surface, just hoping for a snack.

This beautiful PPWGS flag shows the club logo in a unique way.

Richard and Kathy were on the 2001 pond tour.
