    My wood working skills are rudimentary to say the least so this Bridge was hard work. I made it to replace the old one which collapsed after 18 years service.

    And here it is in place over the dry stream bed.

    I love bridges! But don't have any need for one. I might have to do like Bip and create that need. :-D
    I think you did a marvelous job... and it looks super nice in place.

    Very nice. I love how the plants grow under and around it. I can't let them grow under my 3 like that or the leaves will get stuck and not allow the water to rush down the mountain into the dry river bed. Then it will flood out my front yard gardens. It does give me ideas on growing some near the very edge to soften the look. I like that.

    Again, it may have been allot of work but it was worth is and it is soooo cute.
