Cloudy day and an old friend...

It was another cloudy Saturday morning, and we were wandering through the Denver Botanic Garden really enjoying the rare day with almost no sun. The tulips were still in bloom and it was a nice thing to see..

 

Surprise, surprise...

Mid-April is a perfectly normal time for snow. It’s Colorado, after all, and I honestly can’t remember a spring when a sudden snowfall didn’t take a toll on the flowers. Still, we always hope this year will be different. The forecast did mention a hard frost, but who really trusts the meteorologists, right? So we were genuinely surprised when snow started falling last Friday with great enthusiasm and didn’t stop until the afternoon. The accumulation was just under an inch, but it was enough to affect the flowers at Denver Botanic Gardens.

 

Cloudy morning

The morning turned out to be chilly and cloudy. Usually, on a Saturday morning, everyone craves sunshine, but we didn't complain, on the contrary, we were actually glad for the clouds - photographing flowers is much easier in soft light.

 

Daffodils, tulips and...

...other flowers :) Let's just wander around and look at the flowers that can be found at the Denver Botanic Garden...

 

Chilly Morning…

Mornings in April can be chilly. Not truly cold, but just enough to make you pause for a second before stepping outside. Still, nothing could stop one from heading to the Denver Botanic Garden in search of spring blooms. And, oh boy, it didn’t take long to find the first subject to capture ;)
