Ahhh I actually found it... It doesn't look like much of anything in the photo.
I can picture it looking better nestled into the ground up to where the log starts to hide the fake looking rocks at its base. 27" Capricorn Fountain at Menards

Yup, I'm not as dim as I may seem.

![]() I do plan to add some decorative driftwood, if I can make it look natural...but that seems a bit too small for what I have pictured. It will still inspire me to create something (I hope) that looks natural--at least from one or two angles...if I can't make it look right a 360 degrees.

I think my other thought was regarding a pump...I want any tubing set up so that I don't have to rework any rocks--I don't have money for a pump right now...so, I've let that keep me from it too. I gotta get over all of that and get SOMETHING there...then I can tweak it as needed.

I was at Pilcher Park in Joliet, IL yesterday for their annual pancake breakfast, and usually, there isn't much to see in the woods there in late March, but this year everything that is normally blooming in mid-to-late April was blooming, including the large numbers of Virginia Bluebells. Here's a shot of one that was nestled nicely at the base of a tree.

Yes, they are spectacularly attractive plants, and that one posed really nicely too.

Yes, that used to be a pancake breakfast using maple syrup they made there at Pilcher Park, but over the years, it's grown to the point where they couldn't make anywhere near enough syrup for the breakfast, and the city lawyers were also concerned about meeting health code standards, so it's just an annual breakfast to raise money for the nature museum there as state funding has disappeared. I went to their first breakfast back in the mid-1970's and have been going pretty much every year since. It's become a family tradition, and my daughter and her two sons were there with me yesterday.
They do still tap the maples just to show how maple syrup is made, still have the "sugar shack" with the big boiler. The volunteers that work at the nature center get the maple syrup made there. By the way, if you remember the show Prison Break on Fox, they used the Pilcher Park maple syrup shack in the show. ![]() |
