Secret Gardens

Secluded corners tempting me with fountains, ferns and lounging animals.  These are the places I peer into.  Waiting rooms for those who seem blessed with endless time.  These are the gardens to grow old in.  

It's no joke, I love looking into people's gardens-- it's nothing short of voyeurism.  I fantasize about the time spent there and the people who care for the plants.  I love the idea of an isolated piece of paradise-- cultivated and unexpected-- thriving behind a facade. These are some gardens I found in Wilmington's historic district.

Mira, you are so inspiring! The way you word things is almost magical. I wish I could be more like that. I love garden gazing too. :)
