New project is a hit with the locals.

Loc: Grass Valley, California
Over the past couple of weeks I've been working on a new fountain project. The locals seem to like it. Below are a couple of shots of the project followed by some of the locals checking it out once I turned the fountain down a bit. As soon as I add a large flat rock for the shorter critters I can get rid of the ugly old bucket I had set up for the local wild life to get a drink. All comments, questions and suggestions are welcome.

Stunning shots - and your kindness is applauded 🔥💞💎💞🔥
Speaking from experience, you will be repaid for your efforts in pleasure over many years. Wildlife and water sounds both wonderful!

Well done! Good photos of a worthy project. A water source for critters anywhere in our arid west could be a life saver.

Hi quixdraw
Thanks for checking out the fountain images and for the comment. I like sounds and view of the fountain as well as the esthetics. I expect the critters like the moving water also.

Hi rockdog
Thanks for viewing the fountain image and for the comment. This year has been very dry and the deer, fox, rabbits, squirrels, skunk and birds appear to enjoy a drink. Almost forgot to mention the bob cat (see the following post for the bob cat)
