back in Denver -- Botanic Gardens!

Both Andy and Julie (two of my closest friends in Denver) have Mondays off... so we met up, along with Papa Lynes (Andy's dad) and Judge, at Denver's Botanic Gardens in the city. It is always lovely to walk around the gardens, eat something, and stroll / hang out for a while.

(Can you tell that there's been about zero reverse culture shock so far?! I'm just soaking up my time here!! And loving it!)

Judge then arrived! (and made an orange face)

Silly pirate-y antics

Judge and Julie both chasing and capturing amazing photos of the many bees and dragonflies that were out that day!
