Lake View Magic By Kirsten E Silven Photography by Walt Roycraft
1 A feathery pink and white mimosa blossom appears soft and delicate against a backdrop of radiant green. 2 Two bronze herons add a touch of whimsy to the shoreline as they dance down by the water’s edge at Lake Herrington. 3 A substantial limestone retaining wall made with enough concrete to support an 11-story building provides a strong foundation for the pool area and also holds several garden beds, creating a backyard oasis with ample room for entertaining and views of Herrington Lake at every turn. Plantings visible here include boxwoods, a grove of Heritage river birch trees, a Vanderwolf pine, weeping Japanese maple, butterfly bushes and a few annuals to add pops of color and texture.
