I walked along meandering paths into an expanse of shade gardens with woodland and native plants in between wetlands bordered by majestic oak trees. Virginia Blue Bells, pink Azaleas and purple Ajuga glistened in the sunlight as birds and butterflies flitted by. The hummingbirds and orioles had arrived. I came upon a gentle waterfall softly flowing into a pond with orange and white Koi fish swimming, as rays of sunlight sparkled off the water with reflections of colorful flowers. It was a fanciful oasis, a place to escape and collect one's thoughts.
