Description

This is an ornamental wishing well for gardens, and I imagine it in the sweet mood of a Mediterranean nymph, who doesn't care for coins, but only for generous hearts, like Cheri's. In Greek mythology, the Naiads or Naiades (running water) were a type of nymph associated with fresh water. They were often the object of archaic local cults, worshipped as essential to humans. Oracles might be situated by ancient springs. The Germanic and Celtic peoples also considered springs and wells sacred places. Germanic peoples were known to throw the armour and weapons of defeated enemies into bogs and other pools of water as offerings to their gods. Today it's also Seadog's birthday. Happy birthday, I'll post a photo for you tomorrow, because I can post only one per day. Thanks for your kind comments.

I see several subjects on this picture, and it is difficult for me to see, where is the most important on this picture...I think that the 'white' leaves are very too important near of the green. Also my eyes are often fixed on the 'black hole' Excellent oresentation on your comments !

I love this wishing well and thank you for the most kind words. They mention of mythology is great in there too. It was always my favorite subject and it didn't matter if it was Greek, Roman, Celtic, I love all mythology. Thank you so very much. Happy birthday Sea Dog too!
