The Spinners

 Last week, we took our first leisurely trip of the year to the Garden Center. I will make maybe three posts about it. This first one shows the wind spinners and birdbath they had outside. Do you have a favorite?








This is the same size as an enormous eagle. When there is a breeze, his wings flap. They make quite a show.

They are all beautiful wind spinners. I have a few favourites and one of them is the one you used for your blog header and also including the flowers wind spinners. Sounds like a beautiful Garden center.

I like them all but I have to say that the eagle is the most unique of them all. I've never seen one like that.

I would be happy with any of them! Looking forward to the other posts from there.

These spinners are all lovely. My favorites are the colorful round one at the top, and the two in the fourth picture.
