About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.

Colorful...

Another Saturday and another stop at the Denver Botanic Garden. Last week the first blooms were just starting to come out (click here - The first blooms... ). And just a week later everything looked so different... More flowers and more colors, and the first tulips were open and basking in the spring sun...

 
Surprisingly, some of the flowers were already looking wilted and dying. It took less than a week for this rhododendron to go through all stages of blooming... It was fast...


Actually, it wasn't an end just yet, it was just time for the leaves to replace the flowers...
 



The tulips were gorgeous. White, yellow and red... they looked absolutely stunning. But it wasn't time to admire them yet... we need another week before the colorful tapestry will carpet all flower beds and create this special spring feeling.
 




There were only a few crocuses, but they looked fresh, bright and very attractive ;)


Then I moved to another part of the garden, where Pasque flowers held me captive for a long time...


I always liked these simple and intricate flowers, but that Saturday they were especially beautiful.



Here and there I passed mini-irises... Simple, bright and quite attractive :)



This cluster of Pasque flowers was covered with drops of water, and the flowers look completely different...



Blooming cherry plum is a special treat. Usually all the fruit trees begin to bloom at the same time, turning the city into one huge orchard overnight... This year, apple, cherry and crabapple trees slowly and in tiers open their buds. That Saturday in the whole garden there was only one tree blooming. Very unusual!


I made a circle and passed the tulips again. And... again I couldn’t just pass by without stopping and admiring their simple beauty.




I slowly moved toward the exit, stopping here and there to take a photo or two...







The pictures were taken on March 29, 2025.
