Would love to see them up close! 

daughter in-law's nephew and I use to like to do house drawings, in one we had this house with an front courtyard, all it had in to the door of the very plain 2-level house was an lap pool with torches of fire burning in the water on pedestals..and a few huge boulders sitting out there and about.in groupings..but for the most part it was clean landscape.. One way to clear your mind in getting to the front door.
