Originally I thought I could avoid the typical rock-lined pond look, but soon realized it was just going to be impossible to maintain the pond edge without them. I found a place that delivered a cheap rip-rap mix, but had to do a lot of sorting.
The gradual drop from shallow to deep makes for easy access, but also has a nice natural feel to it as well. The kids like wading and looking at frogs.
The falls are pretty well coated with algae now, which I think actually makes the water run faster and fall nicer.

Hyacinth blooming. This was the only one that bloomed, and it was very short lived.
A hibiscus blooming along the river from the bog pond.
We added a couple of gold fish to start, then a couple of small koi, and then a bunch more goldfish. I don't want to invest too much yet in case they don't make it through the winter.
