In the Backyard
A while back, we finally finished reworking our backyard, one of those 3 month projects that eventually threaten to be a multi-generational saga. We turned our existing pool, with a bit of trickery, into a zero-edge thing, put a dark bottom in it and ended up with a nice effect. I probably could have posted it upside down and no one would have been able to tell the difference. The pool design creates a surface like glass.
The tree is an ironwood. A lot of the more interesting plants will not grow in the desert, but an exception is the native ironwood tree. We have three now and every one is a work of art.
This is stunning!
I've never been one for desert life, but it's 12 degrees here in Chicago today and this looks amazing.
That is absolutely beautiful. Very relaxing...
Hopefully no one will spoil the image by swimming in it. Heaven forbid. Seriously it looks pretty neat. How large is it?
Zero-edge pools are the bomb.
Do people still say that? Anyway, it's very cool.
Beautiful pool but isn't having a tree hanging over it kind of a pain once the leaves fall? We used to have a large bougainvillea by our pool in Az and it was very nice looking, but Oh! When the wind blew, what a mess.
