Hey folks! After maybe 10 years of being friends online, I finally met Skybird IN REAL LIFE at the Denver Botanic Garden last weekend! Thanks, Skybird, for hanging out with me and and my friends, picking us up at the airport, and showing us around. It was fun!

For those of you living in the Denver region, you ought to check out the garden. It's my favorite botanic garden (although I've only been to a half dozen or so). Admission doesn't cost too much for day of beauty and inspiration.

Here is one of my favorite parts: the pebble path in the Chinese garden. There is plenty of color to be seen in other areas, and tons of flowers are still blooming well.
