Among the Cherry Trees

Last month I found myself squinting amongst the beautiful cherry trees at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton. When I went for a hike I paid a visit to my friends the swans, who were really into chasing me and coming right up to me without regard. I’m pretty sure I was more scared of them, then they of me.  

Today the cherry trees have all lost their flowers, but I love going to the gardens just to relax and read. It’s my favourite place to go to and just get away from everything, carefree. Much of the garden's arboretum looks like an old English landscaped lawn, the kind you find in and around castles and big mansions. What is wonderful is that a lot of the time the Arboretum isn't too busy and so large that you can hide away and sit under tree without seeing a soul for hours.  It's my perfect hideout.
