If you long for a mind at rest and a heart that cannot harden…go find a gate that opens wide into a secret garden. ~ author unknown

The English translation is The lake of swans, or to the french it is known as Swan Lake. Either way swans have always held a fascination for me.  Next to Cinderella the stories of The Wild Swans, The Swan Princess and The Ugly Duckling are ones I read time and time again. No surprise that Swan Lake is my favorite ballet. Let’s not forget the Grace Kelly movie The Swan.  Maybe it’s more than just a fascination?

In my last post I thought the grounds were done but,  after consulting with Henry it was decided to flattened the area and start over as it looked nothing like the inspiration piece.  Le lac des cygnes is a small build as over half the region is under water.  Just the Chateau, a small lake and enough land to walk around it was all that we required.  Not surprisingly, over half the prims are spent in landscaping alone.  The grounds are teaming with wildlife. The two main living levels are fully furnished and yes, there are prims to spare.  I had forgotten what could be done with just 5K prims.

Le lac des cygnes is open to the public 24/7. Please keep in mind that on rare occasions access may be denied when both Henry and I are in residence.  We hope you stop by and enjoy our little corner of the grid soon.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥

Lost Horizon was always meant to be a place where Spring/Summer never ended. That all changed on a fateful photography shoot to Calas Galadhon that got my inspiration juices flowing and longing for the reds, golds, yellows and browns of autumn that just would not be denied.  So I found myself investing in season changing trees, instead of shoes and one day I just dug right in and started.  I pulled up every shrub and tree in the meadow, forest, landing point and around the main house. I planted, modified, edited, deleted and planted some more until I was satisfied with the over all effect.

While I have used several creators designs, Heart Garden Center’s alder, maple, pine and oak trees figure predominately in Lost Horizon’s landscape, along with a large plant/flower selection. Oh! and let’s not forget the weeping willows.   Lost Horizon will be closed the month of December so I can complete the rest of the landscape renovation to the oak forest and landing point entrance.  Stay tuned as there is much more newness to come!  Be kind to one another. TWMA♥
