Yard art, wind spinners, and outdoor fun and entertainment....

[Baz]

Took some videos of three of my wind spinners yesterday. I love them! Got them from Amazon - pretty reasonable. Used Gorilla glue to assemble.

Show us what you have!

I have one that has two spinners...both go in opposite directions.
I'll try to post a video tomorrow. No wind right now!

How did you add the audio??

The audio came from my outdoor speakers. The ones in front of my garage. I have two more pairs in other parts of my property so I can pipe the tunes out while working.

I have stereos that take a flash drive and just use those...very handy.....

Love to see your spinner when you get a chance...thanks, Steve!

Wife has lots of yard art out there.







Our windmill is currently buried by bushes/plants that have grown over it.

On "Twister" we had kinetic sculptures from Evan Lewis. He does amazing work....

I was gonna say only in Florida but I guess I was wrong about that.

Don't know why this photo didn't make it into my other post.

MrsWD takes care of the outdoor decorating with birdbaths and whatnot. She knows of my past.

At my old place I had some plastic flamingos roosting in a tree in front of the house. I also took a plastic deer fawn and cut it's mouth open and added some teeth and gums to give it a snarling wolf mouth. Wish I still had it. I think MrsWD had something to do with its disappearance.

At our new place I nailed a distressed-looking plastic woodpecker that I found in the dirt behind my barn on the side of a tree. It's great to hear visitors ask, "What's wrong with that woodpecker out there?"
There is also this stunning piece of art created by putting a bowling ball on top of a bird bath pedestal.

They were really popular for a while. I don't know why they fell out of favor. They came and went in tandem with the dressed-up geese.

Great stuff Baz.

Thanks, Peter.

I have some leftover metal from my re-roofing and at some point am going to try and make my own windmill.

Stay tuned......

New item arrived today and are very cool!

Just took these pics showing how the balls change color......








I also got some 57" wind spinners but no pics yet....

Solar powered lights.... Pffff.
Why would I need lights when the sun is out???

The lantern and wind chime were my favorite pieces.

Yeah - it's very unique!

I dated a girl that liked rust on decorative items.

I've never ever in my life heard anyone ever say something like that.

We went together a few times to this place: https://renningers.net/mt-dora/

She was a really good person and had the most beautiful green eyes.

She also had a 993 cab and a track car which didn't hurt!

So now when I see anything in a decorative nature with rust on it I look at it in a completely different way than probably most others. That was a gift she gave me....
