Yesterday afternoon at the Botanic Garden I prepared for the evening Launch of my Cactus House Mural. It had been an idyllic spring day, and the lingering afternoon sun glowed through the edges of leaf and flower.What had earlier seemed a plastic tub of lovely 'Early Harvest' tulips took on the form of transcendent fire ...

I put aside my work and followed the light down to the Woodland Garden. As the path curved by the rhododendrons the pink Acer came into view. Each of its twigs was haloed, holding me spellbound.
Young birches drew me in among their papery trunks, their branches crossed gracefully by the quiet water channel.
I stepped back onto the path and headed for a very special evening.
Beyond the dell, mellow sunlight gleamed green-gold on mighty trees.

Thank you Shady Gardener! The Pink Acer does look as if it is dancing! There is also a group of hornbeams in the Botanic Garden that look like dancers.
