What is a water feature?

At first you might think that is a simple question that could easily be answered in a few words.

But my hope is that after reading this you will have a new appreciation of the REAL question and the answer.
You see, a water feature is according to Wikipedia: a water feature is one or more items from a range of fountains, pools, ponds, cascades, waterfalls, and streams..... but to us it is really much more.

On my office wall I have a quote by Loran Eisely:
If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in Water

I have seen the magic of water with my own eyes...
  • I have seen the intense emotion from a child with downs syndrome when he sits and watches the fish in our Orlando, Central Florida (FL) pond and listens to the waterfall.
  • I have seen the faces of the families as they sit searching for peace and answers by our pond at the Give Kids the World Village in Kissimmee, Fl.
  • I have seen grandchildren smile and run to see the pond at gram and gramps house and see how their favorite fish is looking.
  • I have seen friends as they sit by our pond in rough times with tears in their eyes.
  • I have seen teenage boys reconnect with nature... not a video game version the real thing!
  • I have seen my nieces go flying through the house headed to the pond every time they visit.
  • I have seen couples sitting and smiling on more waterfalls than I can count.
  • I have seen a bench moved closer so a husband can see and hear the waterfall better.
  • I have seen friends smile, laugh, woot and holler as I held a friends hand and walked her into the pond to play with our fish.
  • I have seen a husbands eyes fill with tears as he remembers the love of his life.
  • I have seen a mother on her hands and knees with her children at the edge of the pond talking with their new fish.
I could go on and on....
What is a water feature?
Well to us it is much more than a fountain, pool, pond, cascade, waterfall, or stream.

I don't think it can be said better than it is said here by our good friend Scott Hammond.

I encourage you to watch this video...
