It was four years ago that I posted the photo (left) of a rock feature I built to enhance a sculpture we bought at a North Carolina garden store.
But four years is a long time in homeowner-land. Something had to happen, and it did. We now have running water in rich, zen-like stereophonic sound.
Next up: fixing the mailbox post that was sideswiped by a truck back in October 2010.
Well, it took multiple trips to Loews and Home Depot. And then there was Amazon for water feature stuff, and then 3-4 trips to the rock yard. Hot, sweaty and not too happy. I simply suggested a more powerful water pump! Nothing is simple but my sweet husband did want to make me a water feature with a little more water noise.
I actually am very happy. A fountain on the deck and one at the bottom of the deck stairs. Birds love to drink from them both!
Nice!
The rock fountain is not only paradoxical (the manipulation of natural material (rocks) to create an artificial work of art); I also love how the sound of the falling water is an integral part of this little artistic installation.
