A whispering moment penetrates through the garden gate, up the steps and through the scent that mingles and mixes in the cooling, evening breeze. The blanket of night is near.
An adventure transforming through illumination as windows flicker to life, declaring their existence under thatched crowns melding with old stone walls. Their panes casting rays, penetrating the shadows close by, embellishing the darkening life that exists in its path.
A breath of wind shakes life into the apple blossoms watching over the Hydrangeas and Azaleas dancing freely to their own beat. Yellow Roses nod their luscious heads, sending soft aromas out to marry with the Lavender and Jasmine tucked near the stone pathways. Lilacs hover over Nightshades and Primrose, casting eery shapes in the dwindling light. Sheltering the delicate blooms with outstretched limbs.
As evening slips into the night the garden settles itself to rest in anticipation of the window light fading into daybreak. Welcoming tiny droplets of dew ready to sparkle like cast-off gems across petals and leaves. Lilliputian lakes left to refresh Ladybugs and Bees that will come to visit in the warming sun of the day to come.
It’s a guessing game of who and what really reside here in the overgrown, yet sculptured, palette of colours. Creativity is everywhere, all tiny reminders that the garden is home to the imagination of many.
