Just incredibly beautiful. My husband and I hope to have a backyard like yours someday. Right now we're working on our small neighborhood lot size backyard. We started with nothing and each year we try to add something. We also have koi and frogs. What state do you live in? We're in Michigan so we definitely look forward to spring. thank you so much for sharing your paradise.

Wow, such a beautiful pond! The videos are just lovely too. Are you a member of the Nashville pond society? My father belongs to that group...I think there's a Parade of Ponds coming up. www.nashvillepond.org

I just love your garden and your Photography of it. I love Flowers and Gardens of all kinds but in Victoria Australia where I live we are just about out of Water and our Gardens are dying.Our Botanical Gardens are also and we are losing Giant Redwood Trees 150 years old because of no water. We had a wee bit last night for which we are thankful. I will look at yours for Inspiration. God Bless Bette

This ablum should not be missed by anyone who loves beauty, gardens and darliing whimiscal statues, oh yes and Golden Retriebers! It shows that much love and thought along with a lot of painstaking work can turn a forested land into a magical scantuary. Forgive me for getting some names confused, at first I thought I was elsewhere! I have downloaded your backyard to enjoy winter and summer. Thank You for sharing this beauty with us All! Kindest Regards, Ginny
