Promise of spring's return! Beautiful - thanks for sharing!

I went to the Denver home and garden show last weekend hoping to see some lovely flowers and get info/ideas for my garden. They should have called it the pavers and hot tub show, hardly anything about gardening unless your idea of gardening is paying millions of dollars to have someone come in and landscape your million dollar home. :thumbs: Worst of all, not good camera ops.

and found they are pretty much a waste of time beyond picking up bundles of shamwow's which I like. Went to an auto show a few years back and took the camera along, got a few shots but it too was a waste of time. Lucky I had free tickets.

The garden is a wonderful place and does a wonderful job with their several shows through the year. I just got lucky with a few shots and will have to say that after seeing the other folks there (it was crowded) with their cameras I did leave with lens envy.
