They were in this really neat dry meadow garden full of grasses and wildflowers.<br /><br />Christopher,<br />I would be interested in see your pics of the garden. I am always fascinated by what a group of people with cameras decide to photograph. <br /><br />Phillip,<br />That structure was in the Spirit Garden which was full of plants that had special meaning to native Americans. The dinosaurs did not help at all, we are about a year and half too old for that easy of a distraction.<br /><br />Helen,<br />Thanks. You should indeed visit.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-41912163696699376112009-08-11T18:43:31.549-04:002009-08-11T18:43:31.549-04:00Very nice Les.

Can't find one. The pictures are some where. I have always enjoyed visiting that garden.

When I am not working, I like to tour gardens and look at plants.<br /><br />Janet,<br />I love the high desert also. Maybe because it is so foriegn from what is familiar to us here.<br /><br />Sweet Bay,<br />If you laughed at my son's reaction, you must have experienced something like that yourself. All in all he was very good on the whole trip. Only twice did the little green monster from Alien appear.<br /><br />Pam,<br />Mr. Rex was pointed in the direction of an outdoor dinning area. Perhaps he was eyeing a smoothie or someone's PBJ.<br /><br />Phillip,<br />You are quite welcome. Stay tuned, there will be wild flowers in several posts to come.<br /><br />Linda,<br />On our last trip to Denver we went to the suburban location of Tattered Cover in Cherry Creek and could have spent hours in there. However, we had a fabulous meal in LoDo on that same trip.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-75166269835253049802009-08-09T14:46:29.537-04:002009-08-09T14:46:29.537-04:00Am enjoying the trip with you.

And Denver is also home to the great Tattered Cover bookstore in LoDo. Can still tell you which book I bought as a splurge for Mark at that memorable store. Great pix and liked to see your reactions as you drove west.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-50537773534874591102009-08-09T09:53:10.620-04:002009-08-09T09:53:10.620-04:00Thanks for the tour!Thanks for the tour!How It Growshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687132248846516168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-11742751902536908332009-08-09T04:02:23.156-04:002009-08-09T04:02:23.156-04:00I especially like those gray and silver plants, an...I especially like those gray and silver plants, and so do the bees, apparently.
