There are bricks on the ground in a half moon shape.
My late hubs lovingly made that brick platform for a fountain that I found late one fall in one of the big box hardware stores.
Admittedly, the fountain was difficult to piece and put together. There is no way I would have been able to "build" the fountain but my hubs was a whiz at doing just about anything around the house.
He put it together in a couple of days.
He wrapped that fountain to protect it from the elements of a New England winter and, in the spring, off came the plastic protection.
Once filled with water, the sounds of it falling over three different levels is exceedingly pleasant.
Birds come to take little sips of the water and, occasionally, dip their wings into it as well.
To keep algae from forming in the water, a little bit of hydrogen peroxide gets added. It's very effective.
Lots of plants, both wild and domestic, grow nicely around the fountain. Especially loved are the lilies of the valley.
