Well, since I got away with it last time I thought I'd post an update to my planter as another "flower shot". ;)

This has turned into a small nightmare since today I was working with outside temperatures around 2C and it was windy and not much sun. :(

Remaining (if you have an imagination) is some mountain peaks and their reflection in the water below. I only have the bluish granite that represents the water flowing under the bridge. Yes that's supposed to be a bridge! Cutting granite to a fine point is ...... a pain, since it almost always fractures. The planter should have been "trued up" but I was careless and so there is a little unevenness to the surface that I'll have to polish down in places - ugh.

There, now I feel better. Hopefully I have some sympathy from CR members. :'(

Jack,
Sorry I can't give you sympathy 8) !
I can, however, give you high praise.
The bridge is the first thing I noticed and the scene beyond the bridge, too. Completely well done ;D ;D !
Great job. Keep warm and chip away!
