There are of course a lot of things you can do in Denver, but if you want to see the beauty of nature, you really should go and visit the Denver Botanic Garden.

These thumbnails don't do these images justice.  You really need to see them full screen, so click any image to enlarge.

I decided to do a little manipulation to this photo to add a bit of a graduated filter effect.  Don't know if I like it that much, but it looks ok.

I am not a big fan of the digital zoom on any digital camera because it tends to pixelate the image too much.  However, for this photo I really wanted/needed the smaller deapth of field. Surprisingly, this image came out great and is probably my favorite.

It gets pretty hot in the tropical conservatory. Here is how steamy it can be.
