Welcome to one of my favorite places on earth.
You simply walk over a little bridge and you are in another world.
A wise soul greets you and assures you that all is safe in this tiny paradise.
You stop and listen and hear water dancing in a sweet little pond guarded by a cherub.
There are places to stop, sit and enjoy the quiet of the island.
This fair maiden has graced this bench ever since I started to visit.
Her patina is more beautiful as the years go by.
A true beauty is hidden in the trees, a sweet girl that steals my heart.
As you can see she has experienced some trauma but it doesn't take away from her beauty.
A small bronze fawn stands watch.
In all my visits I have never encountered other visitors of the human kind.
Only the wildlife that is lucky enough to live here.
Time to leave this piece of old Florida,
over the bridge and back to reality, only to hope another visit will be in my future soon.
Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Enjoy!
