Backyard fountain and fish pond

Backyard fountain and fish pond
Originally uploaded by ericblauer.

I've started creating my backyard fountain and fish pond. I've missed the one I made at the last house I owned. This one is going to be bigger and include a small waterfall that will travel down a rock hill and turn into a descending stream that will flow into the fish pond. I am planning on planting some plants and a small Japanese maple if I can find a affordable one. I have a few ideas on how I will use the tree trunk in the middle. I am incorporating the roots from the stump and will have the water from the stream flowing under the main root and falling into the fish pond.
