Field Trip of Foliage

My sister, Angie (nicknamed Abe in our family...G often calls her Abey) and I took Graham to the Denver Botanic Gardens after I received some free passes. Neither of us had ever been there before, and we were so glad that we had the opportunity to go. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, and Graham really loved running around and looking at the different plants and flowers.

Me, Graham, and Angie

Love G's face...he's looking at a bird flying over

The Gardens currently has a Japanese influenced exhibit being shown.  Here is Angie by one of the bamboo sculptures

G checking out the flowers

Pretty yellow flowers...these were everywhere in the Gardens

These are called Lamb's Ears.  They are incredibly soft.

This was beautiful with the mist rolling over.  Garden workers were also manicuring the area.

Beautiful view

Hibiscus flower

Another neat water feature

And again with the water feature
Very cool and unusual path, although it was a little bumpy for the stroller

Orchids
