Dr. Dave and Dr. Case summarized it, i.e. about the rock placement. Looks so much better. I did gather a few smaller ones around the buried ones to look like the tumbled down the incline.
Good idea about taking some fish pics. My finny friends are very brave and explorative right now so pics should be easy.
What'd ya'll think of that heron picture?

There's a bit of an angle on the shot, but still, how does that bird keep from falling in the water? Do they have that much grip strength in their feet?
I'm thinking about going up to Canby where there's a Koi dealer and buying a couple yellow butterfly koi. He's got soome 5-7" or maybe it was 7-9" for $25. I really like the solid yellow ones. These are mixed in with mostly yellow and black. wonder if they stay all yellow if they start out that way. Here's his link if anyone's interested.

koiguy has a couple of yellow koi ...i love that colour fish
Tomorrow the landscaper is coming with the plants my wife selected. In addition he wanted to reinforce the back of the filter falls with some additional rocks. When they are done I'll take some pictures.
I did go buy 3 little Koi. One is yellow and black, a butterfly. One is all platinum--a doitsu, I think that's how you spell it, i.e. scaleless. And one is yellow. I kept them in quarantine for a week and let em go today. I should have quarantined them longer, but this dealer is very squared away and he's had these fish since Sept.
This brings us to 8 Koi and 14 goldfish. 4500 gallons. That's it. No more fish. Nice school with many colors. I'll try to get some decent fotos of them soon.

we look forward to seeing how it all turned out and seeing your new babies.
no fotos of fish yet. I'll concentrate on that in the next week or so.
here are some fotos with the plants just in. in one you can see my wife merrily planting away. she had a ball.
notice that one of our dogs, Mandy, thinks the deck is her new spot. it's fun to watch her watch the fish.

Looking great!
wow!
D&RW, you have come a long way baby! That looks super fantastic! I love the high fish spitter. Nice touch. The plantings look aswesome as does the boulders. Very natural. The rottie looks quite content sitting on that decking just hanging out. He's got that look on his face as if saying: ahhhhh, well now I've got a relaxing place to survey my kingdom from!
