We built all this by hand almost all with things we either received off of freecycle or were given or found on our own. We used lava rocks from the TONS of lava rocks that abound in our neighborhood to make the waterfall. We got goldfish from a freecycler and the plants we bought from the local nursery-- Corrales Water Lily Gardens It was a blast and is a beautiful feature in the summer! In the winter we have to cover it with greenhouse plastic to keep it from freezing over.
Other creatures in the pond include dragonfly and damselfly larvae, mosquito fish, a water turtle (who will not leave no matter how many times we put her into her own specially made turtle pond she is a Houdini), bullfrogs & tadpoles and some small frogs that I can not remember the name of.....
Art is all around us!
Tabbi, your pond is awesome! No wonder Emy won't stay out. LOL
