Waterfall


When we first moved into our house this corner of the backyard had a "pond". In reality it was a small plastic container with water in it and a pump that I guess worked at one time. It was a great breeding ground for mosquitoes. We always had plans to build a real pond with a waterfall but it wasn't until this spring that it became a reality. My husband built it with rocks that were already in the yard. I think that they were supposed to be edging around flower beds but they were done haphazardly. We have had them piled up just waiting to be used and this was a great use for them.

There are actually 3 small waterfalls and the water flow can be changed. In the evenings we place tea lights in the white chandelier and there is also a light strand above the pond that is attached to the lattice work. We enjoy sitting out in the evenings and listening to the water trickling over the rocks. It can be relaxing after a long day.
