Of course, it's a thought that needs to be considered. Love your ideas about a one-day feature, and the small mirrors either vertically or inside an arbor. Hadn't thought about it, but yes, the shimmering light does mimic water reflecting light.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-9147641666846687292012-01-29T05:46:12.141-08:002012-01-29T05:46:12.141-08:00Hi Holley,

I just saw a photo of one in February's Fine Gardening (an article about fences) and, like you, I really had to look hard to convince myself it wasn't an opening into the next garden. But I think I would only want to use very small mirrors on a vertical surface, and not have the full tromp l'oil effect, because of the birds.
