Today, my sketchbook has a couple projects in it...a new pool-not constructed yet, but we're trying to get away without needing a security fence. And I want to maintain a very natural "seam" between the pool and the surrounding native landscape-it's a beautiful lot and even the lightest touch on the landscape will be visible. The homeowner would love to see an infinity edge also... the grades will work well with it, because the lot does drop off behind where it's proposed...I need to keep exploring to make all the elements work together.
The other project has an existing pool that will need to be remodeled.. the bones of are good, but the finish work is deteriorating and does not jive with the new overall landscape design theme.
The little cholla in the bottom right corner is just a study of those pesky and prickly plants around my house! (but they glow beautifully when backlit by the sun-and surprisingly, the flowers are really cool-they are greenish-yellow!)
