Some great images, and some very proud owners too.
I really like the waterfalls, but notice some have lilies really close. I've been told lilies don't like moving water. Am I mistaken?

Thanks Dr. Case.I took all the pictures with my Droid Razr phone. I did ask everyone if it was okay to take pictures and some people kind of laughed that I would even think to ask a question like that. Of course they all loved showing off their ponds and having people take pictures. lol. Thanks CeeJayH. I have lilies next to my pond and other types of pond lilies in my pond. I'm not sure of other peoples experiences but it has never been a problem for me.

Glad you had so much fun seeing all these neat ponds. Thanks for sharing.
Mine is next to my patio and is incorporated. Well it will be when I get enough flat sandstone to finish the patio 
Darn rain!

I thought i would revive this thread. The pond tour is coming up the next two weekends. There are probably over 100 ponds to see in the Chicago area.

Hi Tula, That's neat that you found a pond tour. i have found the people i have met on the tour to be very friendly and happy to share information about their ponds. Also many of the visitors are nice and its funny that a bunch of us seem to keep running into each other at many of the ponds on the tours. I was just in Cincinnati to visit our daughter. Next time i go I'll have to see if there are any ponds to visit. I'm going to a pond on the tour next week where the hosts supplies food and homemade beer from hops they grow themselves. That is my favorite one. Maybe I'll bring a designated driver this time!
