MyShadowProductions #9 - More “Sanity Walks” around Denver

City Park in late spring, fountain working, green grass, leaves on the trees and the Color Field Denver art work in a sort of neglected area of the Park. Here is the link for details: https://www.colorfielddenver.com/

Something I noticed when walking away from the Color Field and towards Ferril Lake and the Pavilion was the reflection of the building on the water, the colors and shapes kind of looked like the Color Field??

Also took some walks through the Golden Triangle, Bannock Street, Civic Center and Museum areas. 

Bannock Street was recently closed to traffic and a mural was painted on the pavement. Here is a link for more information https://www.outtherecolorado.com/work-begins-on-bannock-street-to-install-denvers-largest-street-mural/ and unfortunately unwanted advertisements:) 

This is an aerial view of the planned mural copied from the internet, and the movie/video includes on the ground photos.

Hope you enjoy the following movie/video, looks like MyShadow was trying to do a little directing while wandering among the Color Field.

Happy Summer 2020, the year of “Perfect Vision?”

MyShadowProductions #8 - Denver Botanic Gardens - Mordecai Children’s Garden

Well, the good news is that the Denver Botanic Gardens re-opened recently with variations due to the COVID -19 concerns.

The bad news is that the Mordecai Children’s Garden area will remain closed for the season.
They still plan on having some classes and small group tours there so the plants and flowers will not be left totally in isolation.

Additional good news for me is that volunteer shifts will still be available to maintain the Children’s Garden. I have already started helping and took the opportunity to take some photos and create the movie/video below.

MyShadow was getting a little bossy during the photo process and some shadows from Nature made a guest appearance in some of the photos.

The Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly in the one photo was much larger than I remember them in Central Illinois.

Hopefully, there will be an adjustment of the closure decision and more people will be “allowed” access to view and enjoy the display of Nature, the original intent of the Gardens.
