A Walk around the garden, seeing
plants, cats, birds and the like is often very relaxing. Some
of my photos seem to fit naturally into this category. So here
it is! Hope you enjoy it.-BT, July 14, 2007

A Walk
Today I'd like to take
A walk around the garden.
The peace and serenity
Brings one to a calmness
And Appreciation of nature
And its magnificence.
My mind relaxes and the peace
Flows smoothly from the mind
To the heart.

The Salmon Queen
Rests its beauty in the shade
Of the morning, bringing peace
To its domain.
Salmon Queen, you are the one;
The darling of the morning.

"Gardening is about
enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty
without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak
up a little peace and serenity."
