A Quick Nap

During an extended trip to London in July 2011, where I was accompanying my youngest daughter to her study abroad program, we found ourselves wandering the lush expanses of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in Richmond. Surrounded by a staggering collection of 50,000 living plants, the gardens offered a serene escape from the bustling city.It was here that I chanced upon a scene that resonated deeply with me: a lone lady, taking a quiet nap amidst the vast beauty. There was something profoundly peaceful about her solitude, a small oasis of rest in the midst of nature's grandeur. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy, wishing I too could drift off in such a picturesque setting. The image speaks to the simple joys of life, like the comfort of a nap, and the tranquility that nature can offer to a weary soul.
