In 2000 we had a new home and we wanted a pond. In our previous yard my DH had built a couple of ponds. As with all "ponders", you always build BIGGER and he did. This first photo shows the area before the digging began. DH built this pond completely alone - with me helping every once in a while to lift a rock or "consult".
The above picture shows the new pond after it was completed and newly landscaped. The photo below is just a "higher" view of the pond - you can see there are two ponds with streams connecting the upper and lower ponds.
The photo above and below shows a much more mature pond. We enjoy our pond and we're constantly "tweeking" it - adding and removing plants.

Hi Pammiejo! This pond is so beautiful! I love it and I'm sure it's so peaceful to walk past and stop and gaze upon the loveliness of it!
BE a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh my that is so lovely, inviting, serene. It really made that space look so beautiful. Well done!!
Oh my, I am sooo jealous. This is just so inviting.
Oh how nice! It must be very relaxing just to hang out there. I like all the plants surrounding it....Christine
How spectacular!! I love ponds, and yours is very impressive.

Lovely, lovely pond. I'd love a similar feature, but our property runs more to MUD. Thanks for sharing -- Cass
What a great retreat. I can imagine laying in one of those chairs, listening to the pond and dozing off. Steve-French Cupboard

One word - GORGEOUS! Linda
Beautiful,now you can enjoy it for a very long time...Ann
WOW your pond is so beautiful. I would love to sit out by it and watch everything.
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.♥
Your pond is just lovely. That is a project I would like to embark on. I have a nice little pool which Galahad and I enjoy but a pond adds such tranquillity to the garden. Oh, and thanks for the book hint! Must get that one. We also had Book club two weeks ago. I read 'Q and A' by the Indian writer, Vikas Swarup. Entertaining and an eye opener re India. Believe it has been made into a movie ' Slumdog Millionaire'.
What a lovely place to spend your sunny summer relaxation days.
