| Today seemed like a good day to put up a few vacation pictures from Colorado since so many of us seem to be housebound with yucky weather.
These first pictures are from the Denver Botanical Garden. I thought this table and chair were so cool. I also really like the pipe plant stand. 
Check out the tropical frog: 
Deanne could teach them a thing or two about brugs though: 
Red Bed: 
We did see the mountains as well, they are so much more awesome in person than I could capture with my camera:

| Wow! those are terrific. I know exactly what you mean about not being able to capture the size and scale of mountains (you did just fine). I really like the papyrus and the grain growing along the edge of the pool. Very nice way to make a statement with only 2 plants. Do you remember what was planted to the left of the brick path? I also really like the evergreen garden with the Japanese feel to it. |

| Beautiful Michelle-!! Clearly one would hesitate to sit in that chair - although it might be useful office decor for me when visited by long-winded sales reps. I think you did a really nice job capturing the mountains, thanks for posing these ! Kathy in Napa |

| Wow Michelle!!!!! Just gorgeous. I love them all. I'll be coming back often to look these over again. Thanks for taking the time to share these. Deanne |

| Wonderful pictures Michelle. Some of them make me quite nostalgic! |
|
| I really like them ALL Michelle, but #7 spoke to me.... I too have trouble getting that sense of space in mountain photos. Yours look terrific to me though! Maybe its the lack of serious snow I appreciate! ;) |

| I'm glad you liked the trip. 'bug, they had quite a lot of succelents and zeriscape type plantings which I enjoyed alot. Needless to say I felt very much like Julie Andrews at times during the trip. Michelle |

| What a fun trip! I think you did fine with the majestic mountains, but I guess I'll have to see them in person to really judge :) I really like the pennisetum used in that way, too, Chelone. Thanks for sharing - you're right about the snow days being good for sharing plant pictures! Saucy |

| Super pics Michelle! I too really like that first one, for some reason it made me think of GB. (ahem.) |

| Michelle...when did you go away to Colorado? And here I thought I was keeping up pretty well at least until the past few days. [g] I enjoyed the photo tour. The mountain shots came out really well. I also enjoy a little rustic and elegant together. You did a nice job catching the light in the landscape photos. Of course photo #1 with the cactus in the chair is very humorous and inventive. Some people are so talented! Thanks for sharing! pm2 |

| Such a departure from the ordinary! Thanks for taking us along. Martie |

| PM we were there around Labor Day. I'm just really slow. I didn't take a picture, but the Inn had an old claw foot bathtub filled with ice for the salad bar and an old pedestal sink with a top on it holding a variety of cheeses. |

| Michelle...What an unusual restaurant display of food, in a bathtub and sink...lol. I would have enjoyed that because I just love claw foot tubs and old pedestal sinks. |
