Thursday's Travels to Truro

One of the most beautiful sims in all of Second Life New England is Truro. Of course, I am slightly biased, since I owned this sim for quite awhile. My good friend and the current owner of Truro, Laird Townsend has enlisted the help of master landscaper Xander Ruttan to turn this sim into a breathtaking, natural wonderland.

There are little surprises everywhere you turn…unexpected pleasures in the depth, layers and contrasts in the use of textures and landscaping. It is a peaceful kind of place where you can go to just sit and be still and contemplate the beauty that surrounds you. If you listen closely, you can hear the water gently flowing over the rocks and down through the stream to the sea. You can hear the call of the seagulls and waves crashing on the shore. If you allow yourself to become immersed in the sights and sounds, you will be calmed and soothed and experience a sense of well-being.

Come along with me and let me give you a brief tour of this wonderful sim.

A peaceful meadow and a good place to begin the tour of Truro.



A breathtaking waterfall and pool...you can feel the spray and hear the rushing water.



A blue heron looking for his morning breakfast.

Let's walk over and look at the residence...this is a converted boathouse.
Isn't it charming?



Beside the house is a very inviting garden.
I love the pergola entrance and low brick wall.

Don't try to enter the house...or you will be attacked by the two cats!

There is a profusion of beautiful flowers on the hillside.
The colors are outstanding!

A peaceful marsh makes for a nice place to stand and listen...and comtemplate.

Look closely and you will see a tree with hanging moss over this pond.
Another waterfall is off on the right side.

I hope you will want to come experience the beauty and serenity of this sim for yourself. It is located at:
