Swimming Pool

----
At the 100-acre Hortulus Farms and Gardens in Wrightstown, Pennsylvania, early July, 2011.
-----
This is where we saw one of the rescue-dog pets checking out his territory (in my post of several days ago). At the top of the gently sloping grassy hill (left, middle) is a small, beautiful pet cemetery where lie the couple's beloved deceased pets over the past 30 years. It is a beautiful spot with a magnificent gazebo, ample benches, and gorgeous plantings.
