Pool season is here, and weve got a peek at some backyard beauties: a Fullerton lap pool that only seems to go on forever, as well as a vintage design in Baldwin Hills that brims with 1960s chic. First up, however: pool as backyard sculpture. As writer Emily Young discovered when she visited this Pasadena property, <a href="http://anthonyexter.com">landscape designer Anthony Exter</a> drew on his interest in the circular motifs of French painter Robert Delaunay. I laid out the bubbles to look like theyre concentrated near the waterfall and then more spread out as if dispersed by a breeze, he says of the light globes. Thats owner Jimmy Wilson emerging from the water.<br>
