4 Bedroom Home, Putney, Vermont

The path leads to the front door (and to a lower parking area at right), but the eye is drawn to the open field beyond the house and pool fence. Blue Spruce and Spirea Japonica at right define the edge of the front lawn "room", with mixed trees, shrubs, and flowers along the front of the house for seasonal colors and fragrance. This photo taken with nothing obviously in bloom, but a lot of color and tone variation showing nevertheless. Note the Japanese Maple in center, with red leaves, behind the dark green of the small Magnolia tree. This landscape would cost a fair amount if built in one phase, but we picked away at if for a number of years to save money and to enjoy the process...
