Bok Tower and Gardens

For the scent of summer, you can't beat Bok Tower in Lake Wales, Florida. The mesh of scents in the air evidence of life in full bloom. Come prepared to sweat, but make time to sit beneath the shade of an old oak draped in Spanish moss. The sweet breeze moving through the boughs refreshes. Listen for the twitter of cardinals; the chirp of blue jays. Absorb the flight of a monarch butterfly. Escape the bound of filtered air and embrace the kiss of summer sun on your skin. Wear sunblock and open yourself to the possibility of an afternoon stroll.
