Backyard tour part 6

We finish off our tour with a few different angles of the "ship's prow" view balcony with the new "ship's sails" whirligig. David is enjoying the view!

Backyard tour part 5

The old outdoor bird cage has been repurposed as an orchid grow house. The stairs with the dragon guards will lead to a new gazebo planned for next year. And we just acquired a bank of 30 lockers for use during pool parties so everyone's personal stuff can be stored in one place rather than spread all over the yard and house.

Notice the new water feature (spitting statues and fountain) in the new planter bed at the base of the oak trees.
