Natural Walkway to Lake
Yarrow in the foreground provides lots of color by the falls and great contrast with the weeping blue spruce.

Sun ray bridge over main falls
This secondary falls was necessary due to the position of the hillside being away from the house. In order to view at least a portion of the pond/falls we angled this waterfall to accommodate viewing from the veranda.

Natural Walkway

Natural pond/falls
