What's the big deal?

Water has always been a fascination for us. Not only do we as a civilization need life giving water to survive, it provides us with beauty, solace, and inspiration.
Analogies of fountains have been made thoughout the ages by many great writers as a means of expressing the likeness of life itself to a flowing fountain.
Down though the ages Man has used water as a means of recreation, improving work methods, and maintaining personal grooming and hygiene. These things have become so "normal" we seldom stop to consider how important water is to us. Share with us some of the interesting and innovative ways Man has used this resource over the ages.
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go. ~Blaise Pascal

Moody Fountains

Fountains, expecially outdoor fountains are in my opinion, the icing on the cake of garden landscaping. The finishing touch that adds your personality and style to an already elegant setting. This week I may want something fun and whimsical, maybe a "pixie" type fountain, next week it could be a romantic fountain, it really depends on the mood. If the price is right you are able to change the mood frequently!
