The Canoe Pond

This is one of the coolest abstract pond ideas I've seen. One of our out of state clients sent me this photo. I just love it!

    Enjoy this interesting Canoe Pond. Oxymoron?

    Here is another angle! I love the change from the lower level of grade to the top of the deck. Note how the bottom of the canoe is buried slightly into the landscape...

    We were out less than a minute when I looked back and saw water. Hubby beached it right away and I waved down a man and his young son a jet ski. They came over and took hubby back to the dock so he could run to our vehicle and get the plug. We'd forgot to put it in boat until after we had the cover on after boating the night before and was too tired to uncover it again so we tossed in the back of the Explorer. So not going to do that again~! Luckily it started up and we turned around and ...»
    went back to the dock and called it a day. We're thinking about naming our boat "Miss Adventure" since we've had some misadventures with her, but she'll soon be all adventure.

    This is so fun! I can't tell from the photos, so I'm wondering if you have a filter system in there? Do you have pebbles in the bottom?

    This is pretty cool. I'd love to do something similar but in this climate, I'd have to dump the water out and find a warm place for the plants.

    I was thinking of planting a dinghy that's been in my yard for a year now. Maybe I'll do this instead in the back yard. I've got a free style pond in the front but this is so neat!

    This is the coolest idea I've seen yet and the yellow bench I've been holding onto my copy of it for a year before I saw your page.
