Hi everyone, I'd love some links to inspiration photos of a 1-2 foot elevated bog built with stone blocks or a retaining wall or something along those lines falling down into a more natural looking rock-edged pond. I'm pretty sure that's the look I want, but I want to be able to show some pictures to my wife to get the sign off. I've tried googling and searching but it's kind of a specific look that's hard to find.

Thank you!

I made my bog 'front' out of stacked sandstone. It looked great, at first, but realize, if you have water moving over it as I do, the algae will eventually turn it green. I have to go and scrape/wash it down about once a month if I want to see the stone. Still, I like it!
