I recently spent an hour or two at The Gardens in Highlands Ranch, not far from where I live. It was wonderful.
I already posted a couple shots from this outing – Ring in the New Year and Medusas. Here’s the rest of the set.
Flicker (Cyclamen)
Animal vs Vegetable vs Mineral: Dragonfly Ornament
Brain-eating Zombie Pods from Outer Space (these are actually poinsettias)
Larvae (poinsettias)
Neurons: Cactus
Talk About the Passion: Cyclamen
Cartography
Dance the Tarantella: Cactus
In Spades: Cactus of some sort
Sticky & Floppy at Sunset in the Desert; I think these two cacti would make for a great cartoon series, or maybe a kids’ book
My thanks to the wonderful staff of The Gardens for letting me take these shots. It’s a seriously fantastic garden center if you love things that grow, and I hope they’ll let me come back again.

Thank you. Those are stunning!
Thank you. I love shooting flowers with the macro lens. I have a couple from yesterday’s trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens Orchid Showcase up over at 5280 Lens Mafia, too.
thank you!
