Quack

Less than fifty feet from the back porch at the edge of the yard is a homemade, makeshift rain garden feature that filters water from the gutters on the north side of the house gradually across the prairie planting and in the general direction of the large pond and Silver Creek. 

And you thought I didn't know anything about managing stormwater.  Humpf!

In any event it is seasonally full at the moment so it has a tendency to be ephemeral in nature.  It is presently home to Mr. and Mrs. Mallard.

Apologies for the crappy composition...
