Water Garden Tour

OK - here is a still shot of the 'performing koi'. I would have had trouble believing it if I hadn't seen it.

This was one of our favorite yards. It was a fairly new housing development but the builders saved what seems to be the majority of the huge trees. The house we were looking at backed up to another group of houses but there was a beautiful glen area between the two.
Their water feature was a 'creek' running over beautiful rocks from the deck down to the circle firepit. There was a rock bridge over it. This shot was taken from the deck level looking down.

This picture was taken from the fire pit looking toward the steps and going across the bridge.

Here I am looking up the creek from the base.


These next pictures are of an incredible house with tons of creativity. It was a basic two story house with dormers. The front porch was added and done beautifully. The owner was from Hawaii so there were lots of touches from the island. He and his wife had done all the work themselves.


The following are just shots of the beauty, creativity and humor around the property.




There is a huge water feature in the back.


They were able to purchase a 'box' of off a semi and turn it into a garden shed. See the window? That is simply a window with fabric glued on the inside and attached to the shed.


The parting view at the end of the drive is a 'door'. Notice the keys hanging on the doorknob and the ladders holding up either side.
