We attended the 21st annual International Carillon Festival . The carillon at Bok Tower Gardens has 60 bells ranging in weight from 16 pounds to nearly 12 tons. The day was perfect as we sat on a bench shaded by a large oak tree and soaked in the sounds of the carillon as music floated to the ground from the 205 foot singing tower. Friends , Jim and Sally were with us and said that it felt a little like what heaven will be like.
Established in 1929, by Edward W. Bok as a gift to the American people, the 50 acre garden was designed by noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.
It was a marvelous day!!
May you have many more marvelous days!
