Tranquility is the quality or state of being tranquil; calmness; serenity.
Tranquil means being free from commotion, free from anxiety, tension, or restlessness.
When we had to travel back home for my grandmother's funeral we had the pleasure of visiting a botanical garden right in my home town, Shangri La Botanical Gardens and nature Center.
Shangri La was a forbidden place when I was growing up. It was a secret place behind fences and not open to the public. I can remember driving past it many, many times as a young girl and teenager wondering what was behind the fence.
After many years of being closed to the public it reopened. So now when we go home I always make a special effort to go and see what I missed all those years.
To me these pictures softly whisper........tranquility. Hope you are free from tension and restlessness as you see what I consider tranquility. Happy Tuesday!

It is amazing how beautiful a swamp can be. Everyone in my family loves Shangri La.
I'm thinking about cranberry scones this fine cool morning!

Tasha, I truly needed to see this "tranquility" tonight. Seen too much ugliness the past several days.
Thanks for sharing these pictures, and please know I have been thinking of you as you deal with your grandmothers death.
