Nope, it didn't. Maybe I need a few more lessons. Or probably a bunch more. Glenda

Glenda, under the picture in Photobucket is three boxes. Use the URL link or the image code. Just copy and paste. Don't copy and paste what is in your browser address box, it won't work. As you've noticed. :o)

Here you go, Glenda. :)

Wow, that looks great! Looks like a very frustrated blue too. lol

I just got one of those solar float lights. I wish I had waited a day so I could ask how you like it.

How did you do that?? I can post 1 picture, but I don't know how to post several in the same thread. They don't come out right. The solar float lights, were a BIG letdown. They filled with water and I had 2 different kinds. They still worked even though they were filled with water but the water in them got really yucky and they have been thrown away. I liked having them and I think it brought in night bugs for the frogs and fish. When we were digging and expanding the pond, we put the fish and the frogs in the big blue stock tank. The frogs kept getting out even though we had it covered with a net. I would chase them down and put them back. Then when we had the hole dug, before we got the liner in, I found one that had come back to the sight of the old pond and jumped into the bottom which is 4 1/2 ft deep. We found him in the corner,dead completely dried out. He had been unable to jump out. This made me sad. Glenda

Too sad about the frog Glenda. :( You're pond looks great though, you've put in a lot of work and did a great job!

Thanks, the beginning of my ponding began when our daughter gave me the elephant birdbath for Mothers Day last year. I needed somewhere to put it thus a pond was started. The pond now is 2 1/2 ft at bottom level and 2 ft above ground. I had a big problem with the first one because is was lower than the ground and everything washed into it including a lot of mud. I wanted straight deep sides so the varmits could not get my fish as easily. I can't wait for the plants to get re-established and start blooming. Still have lots of rocking to do around the edges and still need to camoflauge the skippy filter. Glenda

Pond looks great. I had floating lights also. Same story they filled with water. Also had some that went under water, they worked great the first year and then the next year the filled with water. Now I have rock lights that sit around edge of pond not in water and they work nice.

I've seen those rock lights too, and one that looks like a mushroom. Last night I couldn't find the floating light & it had gotten sucked into the skimmer. I guess I need to put the string on it & attach it to something. It doesn't put out as much light as I had hoped, but the fish seem to like following it around.

Dh found a floating solar light online that flashed different colors onto the bottom of the pond. But we couldn't find it the next time we looked.

Glenda, (by the way I have been married to a Glenda and two Brenda's hope you two are not one of them;)) When you want to post pictures from photo bucket, the easiest way I have found is to put your cursor over the HTML tag below the photo and left click. You will notice the area turns yellow and says "copied". Then just come to this box (the message area) and right click and paste. You will notice it puts a bunch of what I call gobblety gook in the box until you click on "preview message". When you do that it will show your photo. You can put as many photos as you like doing this, just put the gobblety gook under one another. I hope this makes sense and helps.
P.S. If you are one of my ex's I will just deduct the consultation fee from your alimony check next month.:)

Sorry. I'm not one. I've been married most of my life; 45 years to the man I am still married to. You had told me how to do this once before and like I said I can do one picture, but when I try to add several it doesn't come out right. I'll keep trying. Thanks again Glenda

Probably because you are not putting the gobbledygook one below the other. Make sure you put the next one BELOW the other. Let me know if I can help you more or if it works for you.
No charge since you are not one of my exes.

On the above I mean below. Not started on the same line. It must be on the line below.

Here is a link that might be useful: My pond the way it was before the freeze.

That's what I am doing. I get the first 2 in and the third one goes beside the second one and if I add a fourth, it just doesn't show up on the preview. Is there a limit on space you can use. I know I have seen others post several pictures in a row on a thread. Thanks for your help. Glenda

Glenda, have you tried changing the size of your photographs prior to up-loading them.
Click the "Image Options" in your Photobucket page.
You will see a list of different image sizes come up.
I use the "website,e-mail" size, but the next one is also a good size for this forum, "message board" size.
You only have to do this once and it is good until you decide to change it.
Those sizes cut down on the bandwidth used and make it easier for "Dial-up" users to download the photographs posted to these threads.
Good luck with it,
"Horton"

I don't know what you are doing Glenda but as you can see mine are fine. Hey that rhymes doesn't it? Are you sure that you are going to the next line when you put in the next HTML?

One more thing after reading hortons post. Photobucket automatically re-sizes my photos when it downloads them onto its site. I have never had to tell it a re-size it just has always done it automatically as I assumed it did for everyone. Maybe horton has had a different experience with it than I. Mine are always way up there in size when I download them from my computer to Photobucket. Like 2 or 3 mega pixel.

Yahoo!! I did it. First picture was old pond built last summer 2006. Second picture is hubby beginning to dig out old pond and make new pond bigger and deeper. Third is wooden split-level frame for new pond. Fourth is after liner is spread. Fifth is after pond is filled and some rocks are piled up. Sixth picture is view from other end of pond. Fish are happy in their new home. Now I just have to wait for plants to re-vive and start growing and blooming again.Still have a lot of rocking to do. Hubby say's if I ever get another pond, it will have to be by my next husband. This one almost killed him. He did all this with a bad knee and is soon to have surgery for removal of torn miniscus and possible shaving of the bone in his knee due to arthritis. Thanks everyone. Glenda

Congrats Glenda.

hey glenda, great pix! If I may be so rude, how much did that big round blue tank cost? How many gallons? Someone in town here has one for sale and I REALLY WANT it, but $325 seems steep. Maybe I'm out of the loop, considering no delivery this may be ok?

bugsb, more info than I needed on your ex's , LOL!

FYI: Even though photobucket automatically sizes your pix, you can choose to resize then, for each photo click edit, then resize, then 'message board' size or whatever. If you're posting lots of pix here it helps dial-up users out. Until I got DSL last month I could only view about 1/2 the photos here 'cause it took hours to download so many photos. If you really want to show detail, keep the bigger size and just post 1 or 2 photos.

Just loverly Glenda!
Sarah, thanks for posting the additional explanation of the photobucket image re-sizing.
It does make it easier to download for dial-up users if the photographs are made a bit smaller.

Sorry guys, I wasn't taking dial up into consideration. It has been a long time since I have used it and just forgot.

Here is a link that might be useful: My pond the way it was before the freeze.

Got it at Tractor Supply for $245. Picked it up myself and it holds 670 gallons. It is 8 ft by 2 ft deep. Glenda

Bugsb .... WOW!

Your pond plants are huge .... I didn't realize horse tail got so big.

Bugs, I expect double alimony next month! :D

No-one's-ex Brenda...really

Thanks for the info Glenda

Nice pond pikecoe! I had to dig my pond by hand--ouch! It hurt!

I hope you didn't have clay like we do. It is hard as rock. Even the back-hoe had a hard time sometimes. You dug it "by hand" Maybe you should have used a shovel. Couldn't resist that. Glenda
