Dave,

We have a variation on #2 -- an old bath tub filled with mud and water 
from Jordan Lake, which brought with it some plants, fish, and frogs. 
The fish really do keep away mosquitos. A light hung over it attracts 
moths to feed the frogs. There's now a little water fall thing that 
drips over the light. And the frogs give a bit of a concert during 
cocktail hour.

I'm not much of a photographer, and I've really been after pictures of 
the frogs, but the attachments will give you an idea of what it looks like.
