Beuatiful pool area is a secluded oasis – YOTD

Today’s Yard of the Day comes to us from near Orlando, Florida, where Flickr user Joe Shlabotnik’s mother-in-law has created a beautiful pool area that’s really a private oasis. So many pool areas in South Florida are barren and ugly — particularly since local ordinances insist on aluminum screening — but we’re delighted to see Joe’s mom has spent some time and energy to make her patio comfortable and tropical. We’re not sure if our highlight is the stunning red bougainvillea outside the screening… or the luscious bromeliad hedge rimming the pool. Either way, we want to dive right in!

If you’d like to submit a photo of your yard to be considered as a YOTD, simply join our Flickr group, Yardhacker’s Yard of the Day, and add your photo.  If you want.  No pressure.  Really.
