Very nice. I still want to make one of those rain walls. I just love it. Love your whole yard. But, I guess you know that. I say it enough:D
Who's that different looking Red in the back ground there? Yep, it's not a normal one:p:eek:

Is one of those licking a pebble, I've noticed this before with mine. Both hinges and reds seem to lick leaves,logs and stones when I create heavy rainfall. Even though they have fresh water baths they prefer the lick method sometimes.

Yes... a few of them love stopping in the "creek" and sip a few.....the rocks themselves a large enough to prevent digestion . They all tend to go thru the waterfall and cool off. We have had weather in the upper 90's<~~~~yikes!
