♥ heaven is a place on earth.

 

today, nicolas and i ventured out a little further from our hotel,

and explored the natural beauty of barbados.

we visited hunte's gardens, which was like an unexpected jewel in the midst

of field after field of sugar cane. with classical music spilling over the

sound of birds singing, and sunlight splashing over every dazzling plant,

it seemed the whole flowering forest would swallow us whole

 and we would gladly let it.

and when the garden owner/ expert horticulturalist, anthony hunte, 

invited us up to his home for a drink and a chat, i quickly fell in love 

with his impressive miss havisham-esque grounds, which reveal the 

life of a person who is well-traveled and well-versed in the

art of plant arrangement.
