Perhaps the focal point is the Illusion of Repose?
Living a busy life, what you see from your windows will enrich your spirit or diminish your energy..
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Pics taken at a jobsite yesterday. A ca. 1970's subdivision with ranch & split-level style homes around a lake. I've used the landscape design style of Italy at Lake Maggiore for this home/garden. Focal point of the lake is pure. Added evergreen tall hollies to block views of neighbors. And, at the back of the home, a small flagstone terrace for enjoying views of the lake. 5 understory trees were added; the canopy layer was too abrupt with its groundcover layer. Creates a better pollinator habitat too. Odd, in hindsight, how classic-of-the-ages landscape design translates into the best pollinator habitats.
Although I rarely have time to sit in my garden, it is calming to gaze at the view from the window. I don't have a gorgeous body of water to look at (I wish!), but it's usually a pretty sight. Right now it desperately needs some fall clean-up though...
ReplyDeleteSo true Tara, just my little view of greenery from our apartment, enriches me. Always got to have a garden view (no matter how simple) to connect with the world. A-M xx
ReplyDelete"Providential light"...does that mean "only natural light", or "natural light + fresh air + how vegetation interacts with that"? Sounds like a nice term.
