I took a little trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens yesterday morning. It was a beautiful morning to explore the gardens and to take in the new Dale Chihuly exhibit. Here are some of my pictures from the day.
 |
| I really like the color of these. They remind me of snakes. |
 |
| If I ever have a big garden, I want one of these in it somewhere. |
 |
| I would eat my breakfast there every morning. |
 |
| Lucky lily pads. |
 |
| This is some kind of swamp oak. I think it is a beautiful tree. |
 |
| These three birds, actually there were four but the other is on a different branch, were making the biggest racket. I don't think they liked people being in their garden. |
 |
| This little ladybug was kind enough to pose for me. |
 |
| I really like this flower, but I don't know what it is. |
 |
| Purple glass stakes in the middle of the rock garden. Strange but also kind of neat at the same time. |
 |
| I really like this flower too. Its name has something to do with a bear, but I don't remember the rest. I guess I should pay more attention to all those little placards telling what each plant is. |
 |
| This is my favorite of the Chihuly pieces. |
 |
| A Chihuly tree. This is the kind of sculpture that first comes to mind when I hear the name Chihuly. |
 |
| Chihuly lily pads. They're so delicate. |
This exhibit will be up through the end of November. If you are in the Denver area, I highly recommend going to see it.
