Way back in January of 2010 I posted a photo from the ruins garden at Chanticleer in Wayne, Pennsylvania, but I just found a few more and thought you all might like to revisit this gorgeous setting. This garden is magnetic. Every time I visit Chanticleer, I feel compelled to go straight to this area and just take it all in. The reflections are mesmerizing. Enjoy!

I love the floor design. I am sure it must have been time consuming but the final product is gorgeous.

Beautiful. I love reflecting pools. These with the rock walls on the right are really cool. I especially like the second one on the right where you can see the posts and beams.

Michelle's photos of Chanticleer are breath-taking. Chanticleer IS a magical garden to visit and have a picnic lunch-even the children love going here
