Bok Tower, Lake Wales Florida

Ok, so I tend to get a bit carried away with things.  A bit too excited, a bit too annoyed, a bit too dramatic all around.  So, I don’t want that to color what I have to tell you and that is that I’m pretty certan that the Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida is one of the most peacefully beautiful places I have even been.  So, for all intents and purposes, it would not be unreasonsable for me to assume that it was, in fact, one of the loveliest spots in the Universe.

It was a beautiful, breezy fall day in Florida with plenty of sunshine and I really can’t describe the sensation of walking through a wooded park full of ferns, palms, live Oaks and flowering trees and hearing the carillon begin to play.

What?  Oh, I forgot to mention the carillon.  Bok Tower is actually a carillon tower or bell tower that plays concerts several times troughout the day.  Around the tower are many little alcoves and benches where you can pause and watch the koi or the swans or the groves below as you are serenaded by chimes.

I’m sure that there are many other amazng things to discover at Bok Tower ( I always seem to miss the house tour), but you’ll just have to find them out for yourselves.
