When Bo heard that my sister was taking down her fish pond, he has a vision to build waterfalls for our backyard Koi Pond.
He has been working on it for 2 days and it is still not complete.
The side needs some rocks or bricks to coverup the black plastic lining.
It was working by the time I got home from work and the waterfalls sound so nice. The fish seem to love it and even birds find the upper part to be their new bird bath. I will need to get some water plants for the upper pond.
I think it looks good as is and can’t wait to see when it’s finished.
First photo was taken with Canon T2i, and EF70-200mm f/4L USM lens.
Koi Pond photos were taken with Canon T2i, and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.
The video clips were shot with Canon T2i, and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.
It’s coming along nicely. This is a great addition to the garden.
I think using potted flowering plants (or even bamboo) to hide the plastic would work too. This way you don’t have to go out and get more bricks.
cn, thanks for the idea. I have several potted flower that we could move around. I have to see how it will work out, I know Bo has several flat rocks that he might use. The fish and birds are loving this new addition and not as treacherous for the birds as before. I found birds drowned in the pond before from trying to drink from the pond water.
This was a very interesting post, Nye. I love the sound of water, and you captured it very well. I’m impressed with your videos. They are giving me a standard to reach for.
Thanks Gerry for your kind words. It’s a short video and more time shooting and editing. The video can capture images and sounds better than photograph imo, and many times I can see the composition of the photo better while shooting the video. It’s relaxing and fun to work with and I do look forward to seeing your short film. 🙂
It looks so good, and water in the garden is so nice to have.
