Chanticleer Part 3

Hi Dear Folk,

Another cool cloudy day and it was like that yesterday too.  Most unusual for this time of year.  I don't mind the coolness but would like to see the sun.  I like the rain, but make it at night.  I'm nothing but fussy.

Back to Chanticleer.  Within the property the parents had two other houses built for their children.  One is now used as administrative offices and the other house burned down, these are the ruins.


They have made use of these old stone walls in such a creative way.  Love the fireplace mantle with succulents on it.


Reflection pool.


These are actually faces in a pool, rather Poe, but interesting.



A bridge made to look like an old fallen tree trunk.



Vegetable and cutting gardens.



Back to the main house.

That was our day.  Hope you enjoyed the journey.

Christine

  1. What an amazing place. So much beauty of all kinds.

    Love how they have made the ruined house, a place of beauty.

    And the use of water, and falling water.... -happy sigh-

    Those 2 chairs under the tree... Everyone must want to sit there, and stay, all summer long. :-)
