I spent some time yesterday replacing the pump in my water fountain that sits on the corner of my patio. It is now up and running for the season. It is amazing how much more enjoyable sitting on the patio is... when the sound of water accompanies it. I have had this fountain for a couple of years now. It is copper and brass with little birds on it. The water spills into a copper bucket and then "dumps" the bucket when it get's full into the basin. The water spigot and the dumping of the bucket produces alot of "water noise" and is very pleasant.
Here is a few pictures of my little fountain.

Here is the bucket action at work!

As you can see, I place some of my patio containers around the water fountain. Here is a close up of one of my containers. I chose some hotter colors for this side of the patio this year. Although the plants are immature at this point (just planted them last weekend) - I am liking this year's combos much better than last years already!
