A Walk Through Bloedel

"Come on in!" said the dragonfly with glee.

"Do you see what I see?"

"It's my buddy in a tree."
"Woof."

Then walk along to the swamp,
But tread quietly, don't stomp.
You don't want to wake them, no, no.
They're the aliens, they're waking. Oops, hello!

Then travel to the meadow,

where fields of golden grains grow.

Continue on to the garden so zen,
where you can relax, unwind, and
feel one with the earth again.

As you cross the boardwalk of sturdy planks,
observe the seed pods and plants
once called 'skunk cabbage,'
now 'swamp lantern,' we must chant.

As the tour concludes,
we look back and see the paths
we've taken and those we've crossed,
and we're thankful we didn't get lost :)


P.S. Don't worry, you won't get lost at the Bloedel Reserve!
All paths intersect paved walkways
and all of those walkways lead back to the main entrance.
Happy trails!
