What You See When You Look Up

I'm sharing my special place with you today.  It's not necessarily a secret as much as it's not really something many people ever think to notice.  Most of the time, we wander around, looking forward and perhaps down.  Particularly at a botanical garden, you look down at the flowers below or perhaps admire the rose bushes at waist height.  But at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, there is a spot inside the Japanese Garden where you can stand under two twisted trees, each tangled into itself.  At first you might notice the shade when you walk under it, but you probably wouldn't be prompted to look up.  Now do you see what you've been missing?
