    Melody, that small pond is so cute. I bet you don't miss the tree . How tall was the tree?

    Some of the best creations come from accidents. This is ingenious.

    Great use of the natural space....digging out stumps is a real pain in the butt.

    That is such a cool idea. Very unique. I recently wrote an article on Pond Designs if anyone needs a little inspiration here it is - http://hometipster.com/magical-garden-ponds/

    This looks like my back yard.. When Isabelle went through, we lost 20 some trees and we are backed up to the Dismal Swamp, so I have taken advantage with Bog Gardens ; )

    What a way to make lemonade! It's just too cute and practical as well. Good job.

    Very pretty. I bet if you had tried to plan for your pond to look like this, it wouldn't have turned out as nice. Love that you used part of the tree in the pond.

    we moved the stump around in several ways to see which way was most creative, I went to our local Craft store and bought some little artisy things and with in a few days the pond came together and we have gotten so much enjoyment out of it, I bought a few koi fish and what a difference it has made.
