[Broomhilda]

Trying to find a natural looking crane or heron lawn ornament to put by my
new pond. Can someone tell me where such an item might be available?
thanks.

While in China I saw some fantastic ones that ran about $1400 plus
shipping.
I really liked them but alas I would have to mortgage the house. Try
Collections, Etc. they had sone small ones. Happy water gardening.

Thanks to everyone!! Isn't Rich Toybox a gem? He has helped me so much.

Wouldn't mind a sandhill crane. Yesterday took my pooch for a walk to one
of Florida's socalled lakes. Little crippled duck lives there. Both feet
are lame and it can't walk but manages to swim and to fly.
I go everyday to feed it.

Anyway, three sandhill cranes got between me and the lake (in Michigan they
are called ponds) and really screeched. They made so darned much noise
people came out of their houses to see who was killing the wild life.

Wasn't me or my dog who was on a leash.

Thanks again.

Sorry about that, but facts are facts. Wait til I get back north to my new
pond. It's all finished but the landscaping but I am sure I will have tons
of questions.
