Meet the snake neck turtle:

He spends summer vacation in the waterfall pond.

The pond irises are in full bloom!

Meet the fish.

Here are 5 of the 7 pond fish, with no names.

Pickerel frog...

...green frog..

...and toad tadpoles.

Meet the cat.

This is Phoenix. He was a kitten hiding in the forest, living under the Barberry bushes. He befriended Ruby (horse) first, and now is a member of the family. He likes to keep watch over the fish and frogs of the pond. Soon he will be having fun with the hundreds of morphing tadpoles!
