These photos today are from the big stash of slides I found last summer and scanned. This place is called Bok Tower Gardens located north of Lake Wales in Florida. I visited there on the same trip that took me to Epcot many years ago.
In the center of the garden is a tall tower containing carillon bells that play soothing music while you stroll the garden.
The garden was lush with tropical plants including many magnolia trees that were in full bloom. I have one distinct memory from visiting this place. I was seated on a bench listening to the music when a small ground squirrel tried to climb up my bare leg. Needless to say, I screeched from the pain caused by his sharp little claws and off he went.
The photo to the right was from one of the slides that faded a bit but you can see the tower clearer. For the photo at the top I was using a special soft focus filter. The colors are better but you can't see the top of the tower.

Gosh that would have taken you by surprise Sharon, not something you would expect! The tower is intricate and beautiful. Love the sound of Carrillon bells ✨
I think the last time I was there was 1982, long-long time ago.
What a beautiful place.
Serene. At least until the squirrel arrived.
