Some pics of the upper pond to start with
« on: June 28, 2007, 06:14:52 PM »
Some pics of the upper pond/waterfall...just three years old now.  The rock waterfall is about 6 feet high. My system is quite large so I will piece it out, bit by bit as to not post too many pics at a time. This is new construction here so we don't have any large trees for shade, yet....so...here's a 'desert' take on ponding...
I hope you enjoy....













The wicker chair is overlooking the lower pond.  The main level pond is in the background:




The view from my room.  I have a remote control that turns everything on/off from my room:

Beautiful!  Keep the pictures coming.  Those are some really enormous, beautiful rocks in your waterfall.

Thank you everyone.  I appreciate your nice comments. 

I have put a lot of work into my yard and aside from the boulder placement, have done it all myself...

Sue, the lavender 'bush' is Russian Sage.  Does very well in dry heat conditions with very little water.  Perfect for our weather conditions here in Utah.

I am now working on the post for the lower waterfall...and small pond.

Again, thanks everyone!
