Around the public pool.
Outside the rooms.
Detail of "lobster claw" flowers.
Inside the front yard of a villa, looking at the living area window and the front door.
Looking from the living room out to the front gate. (Okay, so this isn't landscaping - but it shows off the pretty round handle on the front door and the simple traditional "lock" on the inside of the front gate.)
And looking out the front gate up the hill to a "bale" (small hut) with an organic garden around it.
First, the front gate.
The villa is being furnished as I type! Here are the under counter cabinets in the kitchen, and the pass-through window.
And a display cabinet in the living room. Note the double wooden doors - this is the front door. (Most of the built-ins are already in place.)
The closet in the master bedroom is huge. You're seeing the short hanging space over built-in shelving. Behind the door is a space just as big for full-length dresses!
The master bath, looking into the private garden.
And vice versa - looking out the master bedroom to the private garden, to the smaller window at the foot of the master bath tub.
The staff presented me with a Balinese welcome necklace of white-and-yellow, Frangi-Pani, purple Orchid, and orange flowers. (Very similar to a Hawaiian lei.)
And they decorated my room.
And even personalized the lavatory!
These folks (lower right corner) are taking a well deserved break - the Balinese version of resting in the shade of haystack.
Note the woman in the center - carrying probably at least 25 kilos / 50 pounds on her head. It could even be more! The smoke on the left is from burning rice stalks. When I was growing up, this type of burning was also done - even for people's lawns. I think the practice has almost died out in the USA now.
And those ducks were not just any ducks. Here are more of the other "rice field workers" - the trained ducks! (And more smoke from the burning rice straw.)
They line up on the edge of the flooded paddies, and jump in at the duck-herder's signal to go to work.
Here some are grooming and resting.
Just to add a little more "color" - some flowers for your viewing pleasure.
First, the room - lots of fresh flowers.
And then the pool - more flowers!.
And for a romantic poolside dinner, candles were added.
And the lovely couple from Jakarta graciously agreed to pose for photos!
