Thanks, guys! The ponds were not too hard, just sweat and effort. The small water feature was just a large tub made for just such a purpose, and then the fish fountain purchased separately. Just took digging a big enough hole for it.

The bigger pond, which is 4'x6'x about 15" deep, was a kit from Walmart which included the liner and the fountain, which can also be used the way I've done to make a waterfall, and it has a filter in it. That was a lot more work digging the hole for that, and there was a big stump there that a friend helped me get out. I'd like to make it bigger and add fish, but don't have time or money for that now. I would also like to add a stream going down to the waterfall, and I don't have to make it bigger for that. Maybe I will do that this year.

Great shots from Boojum's place, Patti! Which one is Berlin Tiger? Is that the blue and yellow one? I love that one! That Harrison's yellow rose is gorgeous, too! I can't wait for her RU! Almost here!
