June is busting out all over

lovely lupine

The Maine setting of the play Carousel inspired Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic song (titled above) and it remains the perfect description for these late Spring days. Afternoon provides a lovely light for viewing and strolling about the gardens here at Birchwood Motel in Camden, Maine. 

Can you smell the lilac? Guests adore the lightly scented breeze calling to them down the front porch. Please enjoy (indulge me further) a few images from the Birchwood Motel gardens:

herbs for peace? peace mussel? — inspired by 

my creative friend, Jen C.

poppies! poppies will make them sleep...

Gardens are so lovely. Always changing, always something new to see.
