Ravelston Hall's Gardens At Night--From the Secret of Ravelston, a Novel

The gardens’ magical beauty comes to life 
in the dark of night.  
The large treetops seem to float right up above you 
and merge with the open sky.  
The flowers seem forbidding in the dim light of the night,
but as you look at them for a while, 
they glow to you, 
and are more radiant than at daylight.

Thank you so much, April Gabriella. Gardens at night do have a unique and surprising beauty; and I happen to love how flowers look when lit by very dim light. This is actually an excerpt (put in verse form) from my period mystery novel, The Secret of Ravelston. Take care, Sergio
