COOL POOLS - VOLUME I

It's Spring and time to begin beautifying your gardens, terraces, porches, and pool patios.  Recently for a much needed Spring break, we spent some time on 30A, the Northeastern Gulf Coast of Florida, at Rosemary Beach.

My family and I visit the 30A area, at least once or twice a year and often stay at Rosemary Beach, where we can bike to Alys Beach and take a short drive to the tiny towns of Seaside and Watercolor.

The architecture is divine, the weather is lovely, the seascape breathtaking, and I always come home refreshed.

For a little inspiration I am sharing some "Cool Pools" I visited, dipped my toes in, or jumped into.

Perhaps you can take away some design ideas and use some of these ideas in your own private paradise.

These original photographs are digitally enhanced using the Waterlogue application.  I thought it appropriate to use "watercolors" for this post instead of my original photographs.  To see some of the photos from this post before they were transformed, visit my Instagram feed.

Enjoy and stay cool!

PS
The images of the Frog Pool at Watercolor are from photographs I made a few years ago when we were staying in Watercolor.  Sadly, the beautiful mosaic frogs are no longer sitting by the pool spitting out water, but have been replaced with plastic frogs.  So glad that we had the opportunity to see the original sparkling frogs a when we were there.  They were stunning works of art.
