Michael's Pond

My backyard pond is not only a fun hobby but also an ongoing home improvement project that is both creative and relaxing. I have numerous fish in the pond, all Koi from various places as far as Japan, Israel, and Australia. Although they don't bark, purr, or fetch anything other than food, these fish are my pets, and good ones at that. The pond was built in a matter of weeks but has evolved over several years through a few different improvements and redesigns. I still consider it a work in progress, as there are always things to improve upon as I continue to learn more about how the pond ecosystem works, how to minimize maintenance, and how to get a more aesthetically pleasing look.
