You are walking along a path towards a walled garden. There is a gate into the garden and you are walking towards the gate.
Go through the gate into the beautiful garden. The sun is deliciously warm on your body and you soak up the warmth.....
In the garden are beautiful flowers and shrubs all around you.....
Butterflies are dancing in the sunlight......
You can smell the lovely scents arising from the warm flowers......
and you wander among the flower beds enjoying the colours,
the shapes......
the perfumes......
The sun is warm, it is peaceful, quiet and sleepy......
just the occasional murmuring of bees
or birdsong arises from time to time in the silence......
In the middle of the garden is a pool of clear, clean water.......you walk to the pool....
and dip yourself into the clear, clean sparkling water.
All your tiredness, sadness and confusion is washed away in the crystal water of the pool.
Come out of the pool fresh and clean, newly born and...........
lay yourself down to dry in the warm sunshine.............
surrounded by the beauty of the garden.........

As always some great photo's. I love the ones of the butterfly. Very colorful. I've been trying to get more butterfly shots for my blog but there are not a lot of butterflies around since we don't have a lot of flowers around the pond during the summer.
Oh what gorgeous lavender Cheryl - I can almost smell it from here!! And the other blooms and bees are beautiful too - fabulous pictures as always. Hope you are all well xxx
AAaaahhhhhh. Such a lovely time. That is the most beautiful butterfly I have seen in some time.
Hi Baker...the butterfly is the peacock....it is beautiful and we are fortunate to have many here.
You have all your wonderful dragonflies and damsels.....
We are well Dawny and you???
I love lavender to...I can never get enough of it....it always soothes the mind.
Hi Lisa....the peacock is so colourful, and a bright addition to any day.....have a good trip.
The Peacock butterfly photographs are especially stunning, they took my breath away!
That was delicious, Cheryl. I could feel myself relaxing as I rad the words and looked at your gorgeous pictures. Thank you! xx
Cheryl this was a breathtaking post!
Sigh..I felt every emotion that you
described! The images the prose! Beautifully done! so relaxed now after reading this..xo
That was a lovely experience. Beautiuful photos.
...and now we are refreshed and restored.
Those are some great images. I think I like those butterfly shots the best, although a partially obscured gate is always exciting in it's mystery.
Hi Cherry Pie....I love the peacock butterfly to....
You are welcome naturewitch...glad you enjoyed the post....
Thank you naturegirl....I enjoyed doing it.....in the winter when the days are too cold to be outside, I often read those words and enjoy.....
Thank you Eve...
Hi Chris....Don't you just love gates that have a sense of mystery....I am one of those people that have the temptation to open and go through.....I am the same with old doors.....
I could do with some of this at the moment. Beautiful photos Cheryl.
Thinking of you Libby.....
Lovely, lovely, Cheryl. I feel calmer already...
Glad you identified the peacock butterfly--I have never seen one before, other than perhaps in a book. How lucky you are to have them in your garden!
Awesome photos. Thank you for letting me rest and relax in your garden !
Hi Rose....we get quite a few peacock butterfly here....I picked up my coneflowers today, I am so excited, they look really nice.....
Thank you for showing your lovely blooms to get me started.....
Your welcome gypsyheart lady.....
Dear Cheryl,
Before bed this evening I wanted to stop in and say, "Hi."
I am so glad I did. I am relaxed and drifting now on the wings of your most lovely butterfly!So very spectagular! I can smell your beautiful lavender too, calming and restful. Lavender is a healing herb.
Each picture a delight and the meditation has prepared me for dreamland.
Thank you.
Namaste,
Sherry
Dear Sherry....
I hope that you slept well...
The butterfly is beautiful, peacock butterflys visit all the time, to get a photograph is difficult as they come and go so quickly. This particular butterfly was taken with allium drumsticks so I was able to get several shots....
Lavender is healing, I could not live without it. I have around twenty plants here....some are old and need replacing....sometimes I just give them another year...
Have a fun weekend....look forward to safari Sunday,,,,it should be warm here....fingers crossed....
Dear Cheryl,
Good Morning! I did sleep well, dancing with the bees and the butterflies and meadows....
I wanted to let you know how much I appriciate your responces to comments. It is a joy being in relationship with you and your gardens.
Namaste,
Sherry
Dear Sherry....we live in the same world...I consider you my friend. It is wonderful to communicate with someone who understands my ways.....
Oh that was wonderful! I will read it over and over when I feel sad. I enjoy "guided meditations". They take you outside of yourself and slow things down, so you can just "be".
Thanks for this post, I really liked it.
And thanks for your funny poem on my blog!
Have a nice weekend.
Hi Wendy....I am very keen on visualisation techniques.....for me they are quite healing....
I suppose it is an escape from the horrible things going on sometimes... I hope you get some good from it...
The poem was fun....It made a change to get the old brain ticking.....
I love your blog..Your pictures are beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
have a Great Day!
Thank you Linda....nice of you to drop by.....
