While on vacation in Denver, we spent a half day at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Located in Denver about 10 minutes east of downtown, the Denver Botanic Gardens are nestled in a quaint neighborhood. We strolled the gardens at a leisurely pace while taking lots of photos. We often like to visit botanic gardens while on vacation because we enjoy discovering new plants and we find a visit to the garden is a joyful respite.

The reflection in the water is stunning!
How beautiful this garden must be in the winter covered in snow.
A perfectly arranged yet lush garden.
A solitary water lily surrounded by verdant lily pads.
The Japanese Garden was charming and intimate. A little bit of zen in the big city. Next week, I will share more water lily photos.
