frozen

It's been cold enough that the fountain stopped flowing and the water froze inside the basin. The wire pattern is a chicken wire cover that is in place to prevent squirrels from falling into the water where they can't climb out due to the curve of the bowl and... they die. There's nothing worse than going to scoop the leaves out of the water and finding a dead squirrel. blech!

Here is a photo of the fountain in Spring...
