Frozen Garden

Part of the Japanese Garden pond layered with snow

It is a relatively nice day so I bundled up, grabbed my camera and went to walk in the Denver Botanic Gardens.  Though it is March, it can still act like winter and overnight we got a dusting of snow, but this morning the sun is out and temps are in the high 40's.

The gardens are still beautiful though not with the vivid colors of summer.  Dried autumn grasses are still holding on and waving in the sun even while snow lies at their base.

When I arrived at the gardens, I saw that something was going on inside the display hall and discovered that the annual orchid show and sale was going on.  I'm sure I would kill an orchid so didn't buy any but took many photos to savor.  Tomorrow I'll post some of my favorites.Later this afternoon I took another photo of the same scene that had been under snow a week ago and again this morning.  See below:
