Digging A New Pond

After the contractors finished putting in city water we finally had a chance to put our pond back in. We had a pond out front last year but it was a bust.
I think the placement under a deciduous tree inhabited by voracious racoons was the deciding factor! Besides the leaves mucking up the water, the racoons quickly ate every creature we put in.
This time it is not under a tree and the racoons have moved on. We're hoping for a pretty pond and a lot of butterflies.
