~~~New Birdbath and Pond Shots~~~

Good morning. This past Friday, Joe and I took a little daytrip up to Lancaster county. Our search was for a birdbath, and we had a specific nursery in mind. They have a large selection of plants, flowers, pots and birdbaths. Joe fell in love with this one as soon as he saw it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGxLhcQDjPySQzzli2eWTALtCZir3T5orF8r3AA6Wei5lCRgFis0rds56ZyY4-ZLw-e_49kcCHNEG3j-duw2SdCfYo1bWrzY2ypd-1QjcBRUScI44U7mdGjQY0l1EEAv-sztjNmWQUc2I/s1600/IMG_1160.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGxLhcQDjPySQzzli2eWTALtCZir3T5orF8r3AA6Wei5lCRgFis0rds56ZyY4-ZLw-e_49kcCHNEG3j-duw2SdCfYo1bWrzY2ypd-1QjcBRUScI44U7mdGjQY0l1EEAv-sztjNmWQUc2I/s1600/IMG_1160.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I love the shape and the colors on it.
