Black swan's Secret Garden - Montefiori
Montefiori.......Italian for "Black Swan'
Montefiori.......Beautiful, oh beautiful.
Montefiori.......Timeless elegance.
Montefiori.......Dream of two brothers brought to life.
Montefiori.......Grand estate home.
Montefiori.......Swans and geese swimming serenely.
Montefiori.......Acres of gardens, scent of myriad flowers.
Montefiori.......Koi ponds, where the golden retriever swims.
Montefiori.......Subject of art lessons and pretty paintings.
Montefiori.......Green splashed with a riot of color.
Montefiori.......Gentle bubbling rock-lined creeks meandering the hills.
Montefiori.......Fingers of light through trees shading the creeks.
Montefiori.......Rock bridge over creek, subject to dappled shade.
Montefiori.......Fence of cut stacked logs topped with hanging plants.
Montefiori.......Globes of laced twigs peek over log fences and roll in long grass.
Montefiori.......Outdoor Gourmet in a huge white tent.
Montefiori.......Birds flying into twig bundled chandeliers, flitting songs.
Montefiori.......Parrots in giant outdoor cages cuddle in pairs, color.
Montefiori.......Silk butterflies giant in trees, lanterns hung from silk cords.
Montefiori.......Little known, only on Tuesdays can you roam.
Montefiori.......Statues, columns, urns, stick hut in grass and flowers.
Montefiori.......Summer abode we are granted privilege of.
Montefiori.......You and I strolling hand in hand, in a place of beauty, my love.
Montefiori.......Saren's summer treat shared with her poet.
Will you walk in dappled sunlight?
Summer warmth and a place of beauty,
Magic of the Black Swan in warm summer breezes.
Thank you, my love.
