I love the looks of your water garden with your rearrangement. Let the moss do the work and keep the fishies n Mr. Frog happy. I am really impressed with the way the moss has grown. I remember when you built this from the beginning. Hugz to M n lol to you n family.
Looks great . I would love to sit there for hours listening and watching the water . Great job and nice photos of it all ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
That looks pretty good to me! My little backyard pond and waterfall used to be pretty, until the DNR outlawed water hyacinth in Wisconsin. Now it's algae-covered. I like your arrangement, especially the elephant!
my first thought is, can Bonnie read the no fishin sign? love the elephant and its barbwire necklace and the basket of rocks is great. you did it, you used that holey rock... i know the koi love it
I think it looks lovely, and I would love to have one. I wouldn't dare ask hubby to put one together at the moment, as he is up to his ears in plantings in our new planting beds.
This makes me want to dig up the front yard and make me a pond. I love your elephant with the barbed wire necklace and the moss is perfect. We are alike in that we just keep evolving "things". Good for the soul. xoxo Linda

It's looking very good! I had to put up a no fishing sign also to try to keep my grand daughter from fishing. It didn't work! A fishing line made up of linked together paper clips and worm pieces kept her happy for hours. Nofish were caught!
Your water garden always amazes me. It's gorgeous, and well thought out. Having a natural filter (moss) makes the water enjoyable for the fish, and humans if needed.

The more I looked the more unnatural it seemed

So I started over
[Image]
More moss and some rocks rearranged.

My top rock with a hole feeds into my new holey rock.

The water then runs over a volcanic rock
into a small pool
where the water runs through that rock's hole into the stream.
[Image]
The water runs completely through moss
that works as a natural filter for the water garden.

None of the inhabitants are complaining.
The frog even seemed pleased with his rusty toolbox full of moss.
Shabby chic meets a water garden.

What a beautiful, peaceful spot... think I'd just hang out there and dabble my toes in the water.

There is nothing like the peaceful sound of water while you sit and ponder all that needs deep thought.Your pond is a happy place, for sure.

Wonderful . . . isn't creating just " the best time ever!"
October 7, 2015 at 11:03 AM
The moss and the new arrangement made all the difference!

It think it all looks wonderful. Before and after. I am glad you got to use your new rock. The fish look very happy.

The frog's tacklebox is not being used anyway, with no fishing allowed. It is a very nice water garden. I agree that is seems well balanced.

Smart way to incorporate nature into doing the pond maintenance for you. Well done. Looking really good.
October 7, 2015 at 1:39 PM
The results of the makeover are wonderful!
I hope the fish enjoy the new environment.
I am surprised those water lovin' dogs of yours don' go fishing....
