Solar Water Fountain

 

The sound of bubbling water and watching birds enjoy  it is relaxing. I'd seen   solar fountains on  YouTube and was surprised that they actually run by solar energy.  There are two types; the disk (as shown in the photo) and a solar panel type with a cord that can be adjusted so that it can get the most sun. The prices of both styles can range from inexpensive to pricy.

I chose a frugally priced (cheap) disk model from Amazon.   Before it arrived I began constructing in my head how I wanted to display it.

This  black plastic  planter tray from Lowe's will be painted a bronze color and sealed. 

 It would match the bronze pitcher I already had from a previous yard decoration.

The colors weren't perfectly matched but close enough for me.
 

The following items were inside the box when it arrived.

Now, to set everything up where I want it and the final  results. ⬇

It works perfectly. 😎 The clear glass gems  I added didn't display the way I thought they would but, I left them inside the saucer.  A couple of rocks inside the saucer will serve  as a bird perch.

That's it 🐦🐦🐦
