My Pond

Hey everyone, im fairly new to the site and see how excellent it is!
This is my outdoor pond at the side of the house
its a few years old now and looks different every year
last year we built some gardens around it and build a solid waterfall
today (april16) we did a nice cleanup gettin any leaves that managed to fall in during the fall and clean out the water and refill. we cleaned the pump and filter and set it back into place in the terra cotta pot in the water. Once it is all set up nice with the rocks around and the waterfall properly setup i will take some more pics
Here are some pics of the whole pond-



The pump and filter in terracotta pot with spraying thingy-

The waterfall-


Some of the moss on the rocks around the pond-

any suggestions on what would look good with the pond please tell me and ill pass them on to my father and see what happens

Its already looking beautiful AquaCan. You might consider also adding a shallow area where birds can bathe & drink. Wildlife is half the fun of having a pond ([acronym:c69f0561b2="In My Honest Opinion"]IMHO[/acronym:c69f0561b2]).

Love the waterfall.
