Once upon a time…..
In the middle of a noisy, bustling and crowded metropolis, lay a hidden kingdom. Behind the gates and beyond the woods, in the shadows of the stone garden, a princess was locked into dreamless sleep under the watchful eyes of a fiercely magnificent dragon…..
Meanwhile, beneath the glare of the midday sun, Poseidon’s daughter sun’s herself in the cool fountain waters as she gazes wistfully into the mists of sweet memory-the ocean and freedom.
Yet her beauty is rivaled by the rising Phoenix, spreading its glorious wings in welcome of the admirers awaiting a small miracle from the kingdom’s most beloved creature. Beneath its gaze lies the tavern of sustenance and indulgent delights.
Weary travelers make their way to this oasis constantly….
Venturing deeper into the lush gardens, there appears from mists of the past, a great and treasured beast…..
She whispered of the miracle within the heart of her world. After traversing winding trails over bridges and and rails, we found the goddess who protects and showers the kingdom with loving tender care.
She cares for its many living wonders with gentle adoration and appreciation….
Behold! The Green Emperor! Master of the Orchid House.
Beyond the Orchid House lay the tropical rain forest, filled with lush mystery….
And lo and behold there he was…..my prince!
Well…..he had potential. As he serenaded me I thought to give him a quick kiss! Alas….
This was as good as it got. So we put our heads together and decided our worlds were too different…..
The Zen garden was lovely as well. I made a couple of new friends there too.
And then there was the magic of glass sculpture…oh my!!
Alas it was time to leave the kingdom but we made a map so that we could return again….and again. Weary, but satisfied, we left the magic and wonder with tired feet and full spirits.
If you are ever in Atlanta, take a detour from the hustle and bustle and visit the magical kingdom….
