One of our favorite things that we did in Steamboat Springs was visit their botanic garden. It had been recommended by several people, so we thought it sounded like a place to check out.
It turned out to be lovely! Lots of nice trails to walk, lots of blooming things, and lots of birds, too. We both got some nice photos of what we saw. Here are a few favorites.

My favorite flower!
A great spangled fritillary enjoying the echinacea.
Loved this sculpture, too!
And LeeAnna's question of the week is about hula hoops - did we have one when growing up? Yes, I did, and I remember getting cheap ones at Woolworth's. Maybe they had little beads inside them that made noise when you were twirling the hula hoop? I remember them being a lot of fun! But the hula hoop came back into my life when I belonged to Curves, a fitness center for women. They had hula hoops that looked like this:
It took awhile to get the hang of it again (I was in my 50s!), but I did get it, and that turned out to be a fun way to work on my core muscles. Who knew?!
