Mary, Mary, How Does Your Garden Grow?

Location: Castle Rock, Colorado

Click for Larger Image of Jerry and MaryI am visiting my friends Jerry and Mary, who moved from Maryland to Colorado just about one year ago. This photo of them was taken at Garden of the Gods, a series of high, narrow rock formations that once were sea floor but were uplifted to a vertical position when Pike's Peak was formed.

In addition to visiting Garden of the Gods, we took a lovely drive through the foothills along the Platte River, and ended the evening in their Castle Rock backyard where Mary's flower gardens provided a fun photo opportunity for me. Here are some images from her garden (the finches on the thistle were taken by the Platte River, and the Prickly Poppy along the roadside):
