Such a beautiful waterfall! Is this in your backyard and is it one that recirculates the water? It looks so natural. Or is it a creek in the Arboretum?
This is in our garden - it has a couple of watery ledges and a shallow pool at the top that birds like to splash around in. Spring migration, this is the place to be for warblers in the mornings. There is a recirculating pump from the pond it emits into. Here are links to a couple of earlier posts about it - the second one has a diagram showing how it is constructed should you ever want to install one yourself.

Ooh. Thanks for this. You read my mind. Our yard isn't very big but it would be lovely.
My son could easily install this in his yard though. His back yard already has multiple levels.
Tell him to make sure he has a pump with sufficient “lift” to fill the cascade.
