April 05, 2023

I kicked my heels in Lucinda Hutsonper week in the past, enchanted as ever by its festive Tex-Mex backyard and its approach of celebrating life with good meals, friendship and shade.

I wore a Mexican type gown, like Lucinda often wears, however I left the purple one for her. She attire nicely!

I’ve photographed Lucinda’s backyard many instances over time, however I at all times discover a new perspective to thrill me.

The seductive mermaid on the Mermaid Backyard perches in her shell and capiz shell arbor. Succulents create a coral reef vibe and algae-like snake crops on both facet full the seabed look.

Within the sunny kitchen backyard, annuals and herbs in colourful pots complement the purple storage with its mosaic eaves.

Out again, Lucinda’s tequila cantina is able to host one other social gathering.

Scrumptious little dishes happy my eyes and my style buds. Look how lovely all that is.

Thanks, Lucinda, for a stunning time in your house and backyard!
