Since I have received a few compliments on my koi pond I thought I would post some more pictures from this past summer. Unfortunately my pond is bedded down for the winter now, and any more pictures won't be as glorious.

Thanks! It's not spring feed, but I designed it to look as such. The second picture with all the plants is actually the bog. It runs on a snorkel/ bog recirculating system. It makes a lot more noise than most people think. When I am sitting on the bank with my feet in the water I can't hear anyone unless they are right next to me. It's actually really nice.
