The Fountain Pond

We had been planing a water feature for some time.  And have made our share of errors on this first go at it.  However, it serves us well and will evolve as we learn.  Started the project on July 30, 2003 ........ Since then the liner leaked after the hurricanes of 2004.  So we re-did the pond in March, 2005.  See images at bottom. Following are pix of the FINISHED pond.  Which means complete. As seasons change, things will evolve. We'll move things about and add stones and foliage. View from the porch. An interesting light of the porch view. Full view from Side yard. View from bridge. Leaning over bridge rail. Again. over rail but looking left. View from pool area. View from breezeway lookin toward south side yard. Changes in March 2005 View from breezeway lookin toward south side yard. Joe pointing out a turtle figurine Cathy gluing little figurines around pond.
