At last a Dragon of fortune!




  My wonderful dragon has risen up in the pond now that there is water enough for him to swim. He is so at home, he spouts water happily back into the pond.
  I guess I did the sealing of the two pond liners correctly as there doesn't appear to be any leaks. It will take a lot of water to fill this pond up, and I still have to get a couple more of the preformed waterfall pieces in place as well as a water box that will let me even out the water flow.
  That will also mean building up the mound to make it high enough to continue the flow of water from the top down to the first little pond.
  I had to go wading in the water to set some rocks, and it was very cold where it came down the waterfall, as my well is 200 feet down.
  So, how does it look?
 

The large hose goes to the pump that will take the water back to the top of the waterfall, and it will be covered up so it's not so visible, and unsightly.
I think the waterfall, and now my koi pond has evolved into a lovely place to enjoy the sound of the waterfall, and look for the residents of the little fairy village. You never know what will show up next, and I for one enjoy the surprises that nature has given me.
