Take a Peak - Grande Finale

The House on Moose Lake, Alberta

My husband and the owners of this house are acquaintances through business and when on vacation in the area, we had the opportunity to tour the gardens and take photos with permission of the owner.  Their home has previously been published in decorating magazines so this is not foreign to them to be published for their garden, which is magnificent!

The Paths and Gardens

The Patios and Decks

The Pond

The Fountain

The Bunk House (for guests)

Thank goodness for my husband and his IPhone!  I, of course, depleted my batteries in my camera so Jeff graciously indulged me serving as assistant photographer.

The View (Moose Lake) and Docks

Quite a lovely home and the view is breathtaking!  I will have to find out who did their landscaping.  They have an ongoing project on another portion of their property so the labor continues in this magnificent landscape.  Hope to visit again perhaps in the spring/summer for some more photographic delights.

Take a Peak XIV

Tall grasses abound in this landscape near Moose Lake, a few kms from Cold Lake.  Don't you love the stonework on the house in this number XIV in the series?

The drive that winds its way to the house is punctuated with Schubert Chokecherries and spruce.  This shows a great usage of a colourful foliage tree accented against green foliage.

The last in this series (coming tomorrow) is a garden tour of a home on Moose Lake.  The home itself has been featured in magazines and is stunning!  The grounds will make your jaw drop.  Don't just take my word for it.  Check back for the greatest of the great in Northern Alberta.
