Washington Park is just one of the hundreds of beautiful Denver Parks that offer lovely flower beds.  I so enjoy visiting this one in late summer or early fall.

It is ablaze with color!

Homeowners have changed from having green grass everywhere, to planting flower and sometimes vegetable gardens.  Now in full bloom the yards are bursting with color and size.  It’s  not uncommon to have the plants taking over the normal walkway, causing pedestrians to take a slight detour.

I don’t mind giving flowers a break.  They won’t be around much longer so let them celebrate their beauty!

Sunflowers amaze me. How do they grow so tall so fast and look so good doing it?  This one excelled despite being sandwiched in a very small garden space.

I’ve been in search of a meadow of nothing but Columbines.  There are tales and even photos of such a field.  To date I haven’t found it, but I continue to search.
