Your pond looks lovely!
I can see why your back hurts, that was a lot of rocks to move around!
The dog looks looks ready for a swim, just waiting for the water.

Oh, wow! That is so incredibly beautiful! Do you mind if I show my landscaper the pics of your waterfall? I so want that for my pond!
Sure!! go ahead and use the pics, just please post me your pics after so i can see 
For all curious here is what i did. I put the pump in the bottom of the pond, in a little cave so you cant see it. It is located in line of the waterfall, but on the far side of the pond. Then a hose goes up and into the top. The top there is a 2ftD x 2x2 hole that the liner was in. I put the hose in the bottom of that hole.. I then filled it with pea gravel... A LOT of pea gravel. So when the water pumps up it goes into the bottom of the hole, filling it up and then flowing out the first area it gets, the waterfall. Then i filled extra gravel mixed with bigger gravel around the sides to give that spring look. As for your question, where is the filter.. I am hoping the pea gravel will act as a natural filter. If not i will get a canister filter, put it behind the pond and run the hose right back to where it is. Water is looking great so far though. Any questions please let me know.
