Elegant high -leg nouches can be stone, ceramic, metal and plastic. Graceful and safe are also hanging bowls, which you place on a branch under the crown of a basaty tree. Think of easy cleaning and changing water. Napajedla will easily become a decoration of the garden, and what only when the guests are poured. Looking at the sailing birds will make you laugh and warm you into the soul.
