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.

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.

 
First, we stopped by these beautiful Bleeding Heart flowers. I suspect I will stop by them again the next time I am back at the Denver Botanic Garden :)


Anemones are such amazing flowers. Simple and delicate. Simply magnificent!



Tulips of different shapes and colors. I adore them! I took plenty of photographs of them yesterday too :)


These double daffodils look like ordinary ones and yet, at the same time, are completely distinct from them. It was the perfect excuse to stop and snap a couple of shots.


Ants and flowers are the best friends. Flower buds secret sweet nectar to attract ants. The ants, in turn, forage on other insects who may damage the flowers or hinder their blooming. Everyone wins :)




A few more anemones and double daffodils...



And I simply couldn't pass by these Summer Snowflakes without snatching a shot or two, aren't they beautiful?








This peony is about to burst into bloom... 


...and when it opens up, the petals will look exactly like that. Stunning!






It’s all about the angle. You see different things depending on where you focus your gaze... And, naturally, right now you’re focusing on these bright yellow tulips, aren't you?


But if you shift your focus... you might discover other delights that nearly escaped your notice at first ;)




California poppies, tulips, anemones and daffodils... What a wonderful morning!



As you can see, this time the sun broke through the clouds and illuminated everything around - both the flowers and the water droplets. Well... light helps capture the beauty of the world, and although we preferred cloudy weather... we certainly didn't complain about the sunshine. We simply embraced the fact that everything around us was now bathed in light :)
