Photo Love: Nature Calling – A pool in the garden

April 26, 2010

Proud city girls can love Mother Nature too.  I’ve always lived in cities but do miss the opportunity to hike on a small mountain, walk through a field of flowers, or lie underneath the stars.  At least pools are something that can be built indoors or outdoors as long as you have the space.  I love swimming and love LOVE that there are so many complexes here that have pools.  Place that pool in a garden and it is the ultimate calling of nature – calm waters and lush foliage surround you. 

Some day, some day, this will be mine.  I’d have a few tables underneath the trees and hang out with friends and family.  In the meantime, I can travel to nearby countries that can have something similar and am researching where to go. So what do you think – Phuket or Bali for this natural poolside experience?

little luxury list

    Oh, wow, I love a really cool and different pool. This one is gorgeous, I would love water in our garden too. I would be perfectly happy with Bali OR Phuket (or, quite frankly even a little slice of coast in Florida would be just fine right now, too!). Anyway, lovely blog, Chic and Cheap caught my eye, as I’m pretty much ALWAYS trying to pull off that combo (sometimes successfully, sometimes not!). I’m following, and I’ll definitely be back to see more!

    That’s just dreamy! I don’t think you could go wrong with Bali or Phuket. I’ll live vicariously through u 🙂

    Such a beautiful setting, I would be in heaven! I haven’t been to Bali or Thailand, but both destinations are very high on our lists. I love swimming too, but am relegated to the lap pool at my fitness center – too cold for pools here most of the time!

    That is the most beautiful picture. And Bali is one of my dream vacations! One day hopefully…

    I would settle with a pool on the roof:)

    One day, maybe even in a little courtyard in Italy. Heaven.

    A pool in the garden. Yes. Please. I can’t help but to think of paradise!! 🙂

  • Chocolate Lover April 26, 2010 at 17:59

    Gorgeous! I pick both since I haven’t been to either place!

    That’s so pretty! I love the idea of having a pool in a garden! If I had one, I’d like it to be as jungle-y as possible – hanging plants and waterfalls! 🙂

  • Mo April 26, 2010 at 21:08

    Can I come over for some ice tea? Amazing!

  • drollgirl April 26, 2010 at 21:30

  • Leah April 26, 2010 at 22:02

    Wow, tell me where you’ll find a similar pool… I would want to go to. I love the setting… it’s a perfect place to go swimming.

  • Elizabeth Marie April 27, 2010 at 06:50

    Ohhhh wow!!! This is my dream! ONE DAY! 🙂

  • SabinePsynopsis April 27, 2010 at 10:43

    Phuket or Bali? I really don’t know. But what I do know is that this is so beautiful; I want to be there NOW!

  • Sarah from 20somethingcupcakes April 27, 2010 at 15:51

    I’ve been in love with Bali for eternity, so that’s my pick. And there’s nothing better than an amazing pool/outdoor space – as a matter of fact, I found my dream home the other day:

    That garden is gorgeous!

    I’ve been to Bali, but that was many years ago. I loved it! Phuket is on my wish list sometime in the future. I really crave a spa holiday in surroundings as pictured.

  • Mrs T April 28, 2010 at 03:40

    I think I like Phuket better. Although Bali is nice up in the hills.

  • DiamondsandTulle April 28, 2010 at 05:42

    OMG! What a dreamy dreamy [almost like a lap] pool! I’d love this backyard!
