You step into cool shade of the Rotunda, a lovely retreat, colorful cushions have been scattered along the benches for those who wish to rest a while. Beyond the railing, spring flowers brighten edge of the lawn & A butterfly hangs suspended above a bloom. A caterpillar moves swiftly then freezes, camouflaged against it's verdant background.

Delightful, but it is time to return to the path, there are mysteries to solve & dragons to meet.
