In my secret garden

"The Rose"

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter far beneath the winter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.

Kórnik - the Institute of Dendrology, Arboretum in Poland.

The place famous because of beautiful magnolia trees. Arboretum is excellent place to chill out and to take unforgettable pictures. I used to visit Kórnik quite often, especially in April, looking for signs of spring and May - admire beautiful magnolia trees.










Botanical Garden - Poznań, Poland.

Need to escape from reality? Need to stay close to nature? In the city of Poznań  Botanical Garden is a perfect match to do this. No matter if it's sunny spring or rainy autumn - garden looks always beautiful. For me, it is an island of peace. I hope you will find it out on the pictures below.
