Birdbath



 Birdbath

  ...an ornamental basin set up for birds to drink from or bathe in.



My cement birdbath is well over 40 years old.  I've painted it different colors over the years with regular house paint, and also spray paint.  First I use a base color, and then add a second color for highlights.

The birdbath came with us when we downsized.  I painted the cement birdbath with a red spray paint, and then highlighted it with black spray paint to give it a terra-cotta look to match the flowers I planted.

 Birdies like even the plastic birdbath in my yard.
