A few nights ago, JP and I made a date to experience the Denver Botanic Gardens' magical exhibit of glowing lights. Despite the cold factor, we had a fun time, but we did find ourselves walking with a brisk gait in order to keep warm...brrrrrrr! After we walked through the twinkling gardens, we stopped indoors for a dose of heat and to visit a colossal display case that JP recently built for the gardens to house their botanical drawings in.... I'll post some photos below..... Enjoy...

* A closer look at the tree above...Wow! What patience they must have had wrapping those lights so tightly around and around that trunk!
* Peek-a-boo!... Can you find JP?.....
* Me, crouching below a trio of red & white striped trees.....
* JP on a magenta-lit path leading to the main building.....
* Indoors, JP stands in front of this amazing display case that he built for the gardens...
* A closer look at the beautiful Pomele Sappele wood that makes this showcase so stunning....

Hi Johanna, you & JP are an adorable & talented couple. Not only are your Denver Botanic Gardens exhibit of glowing light photos magical, but everything you both are involved with is so very enchanting.
Those lights are beautiful & just viewing them through virtual reality seemed like I was right there.
JP is certainly a brilliant wood artisan like a modern day Hepplewhite or Chippendale with the clean lines of the Shaker craftmanship.
Does JP have a website with his gallery of OOAK Wood Crafting? If he doesn't he should...
Stop by soon, I miss you & your lovely comments.
Bountiful Blessings Always, Lyndy
What a beautiful light display, and what a talented hubby! Those display cases are gorgeous!
