I am absolutely in LOVE with this garden oasis!  The garden fountain is truly a great centerpiece for such a lush, green yard.  I especially like the mosaic design on the inside wall of the fountain.  It is such an eye catching detail.  I am so inspired by this fountain that I am thinking of resuming my hunt for a garden fountain.   Let the fountain hunt begin!

I have been re-thinking the outdoor fireplace idea. It has been cool for the past few days, but last weekend was scorching, so now I am thinking I’d get a lot more enjoyment from something that at least reminds me of coolness, like fountains.

I tried to build one myself a few years ago, but the project didn’t go so well. I found several already constructed fountains that I really like, though, so now it’s just a matter of making a choice between them. If anybody has input or experience with any of these, please let me know!

• Water Bell Fountain
  

I like the idea of “peaceful chiming sounds”, but I wonder if that will get annoying. Otherwise I really like this fountain.

• Solar Fish Water Fountain

Normally I am not into animal themed decor, but I really like everything about this fish fountain, from the blue glazed terra cotta to the solar powered pump.

• Tri-Basin Fountain

I have been thinking that one corner of our yard would be the perfect fountain location, and this fountain seems like it would be great in a corner.
