I like to break down vistas and allow them to be stitched back together in the mind's eye. The pond was the diva and had to remain, but the paths allow us to look at it from different angles now. I always try to edit the view in this way. A fence, a hedge or a low wall can make you feel that you are secure in a garden and these trees serve the same purpose.

Before I did that, there was no way to contain your vision. That's why I created a pond 'room' in which the imagination could dwell.
