Photographer's Note
Good Morning Everyone,
Some of you may know that I spend a lot of time planting flowers around our village, so when I saw this feature, I was immediately attracted.
Oh, I wish I had a garden big enough to have this in it!
Usually, in a water garden, leafs are floating on top of the water. Here they were high above the pool, constantly cascading water into the pool.
The leaf fountain was to be found in the gardens of Kiftsgate Court Gardens, in what was called the water garden. It was a stunning feature without any distractions to divert attention from it.
As a workshop, I will add closer details. I was tempted to post the w/s as my main photograph but it might have been difficult to understand its function, without this overview.
I wish you a lovely day, Bev :-)

Hi Bev,
this is really interesting and for a moment I was uncertain whether these are real plants or not.
I have actually quite a large garden myself but I have no interest or skills in gardening so in the end I struggle with lawn-mowing. Something more permanent "low maintenance" garden would be an option for me I suppose.
Quite a surprising view, nice effect of the repeated motif here.
It looks like an elegant well taken care off garden.
Great reportage,
M

Hello Bev,
I had to take a look at this garden on the internet and found it to be a remarkably "designed" place with several modern and artistic features I wouldn't normally expect to find in a garden. This is one of them, but I also saw other parts looking meticulously designed. Obviously this is a place that could attract others than just great lovers of flowers. While the closer view in the WS is very interesting this is no doubt the best choice for the main upload. It adds so much of the surroundings, including the reflections, that makes us understand the environment better.
My instincts tell me we will see more of this remarkable place.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Bev
From the thumbnail the long legged objects with pink bodies resembled flamingoes, but it all became clear upon opening the big picture. Excellent sharpness, colour and reflections. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Beverley,
What a beautiful work of art in the shape of a fountain. The leaves look wonderful in the bright sunshine and in front of the green background and I love their reflections in the small ripples of the water, caused by their own cascading water.

Took me a while to comprehend, Beverley, only the WS shows clearly those are artificial plants.
Wonderful idea to any garden with a large pond. Superb outcome of the pictures.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Beverley
Two beautiful photographs of the 'leaf' fountain. The main post of course is the right choice (for me) mainly due to the water in the foreground with lovely ripples and reflections. Very delicately designed and the leaves catching the sunlight stand out against the background.
Cheers!

Bonjour Bev,
J'aimerais bien moi aussi avoir un aussi beau jardin. Mais j'imagine l'entretien et je me retiens, Trθs jolie composition car la lumiθre ιtait forte et les feuilles effervescentes.
Amicalement

Beverley, attractive leaf fountains decorating the pool and the garden. They hold the visitor's attention because they create small water jets. I like the wall with plants in the bg. Nice reflection on the pool water. Good sharpness.

Hello Bev,
A nice interaction between the artwork with the leaves high above the water and the pond.
It does indeed seem very attractive to have such a work of art in your garden, even if it is just a pond with 5 of these leaves.
Excellent picture
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hello Bev,
This photo caught my attention immediately. Very unusual and beautiful. I like the way that you have caught the reflections of the art installation (with a function) on a sunny day.
Excellent!
Kind Regards, Ann

a curious view with these fake plants in metal inside the fountain. I liked the WS too and the reflections. interesting the minimalism of this artwork and its interaction with the waters.
