Draining the Pool and looking at the yard from a new perspective

We had to drain the pool and I couldn't resist getting in.  I decided to take some pics of the yard from my view inside the pool. 

I LOVE my Orca wall.  I had it painted blue for years with this intention but, I'm not the best artist so I kept putting it off.  One day, Maddy got out there and spray painted the outlines and filled it in outdoor house paint.  
The backyard decor is beachy/nautical.  I buy most of the stuff at Marshall's, Ross and TJ Maxx.  Great prices for things that are just going to be out in the elements.  There are a few things from Hobby Lobby as well. 

I love this plant.  I don't know it's name but I love the color and how it looks like claws.

A beautiful view of the sky along with milkweed and other plants. 

One of my favorite views.  The back corner where the pergola/arbor once stood. 

A view of the Orca between the plants.  

This is behind the garage.  Maddy has some composting bins but this clipping of the Mexican sage has really grown A LOT!

There were several artichoke seeds blowing about.  I caught this one. It is one interesting seed!
