We were lucky to be invited to the Blossoms of Lights event at the Denver Botanic Gardens. We can’t wait to share with you some of the highlights of our tour!
As always, you can click on any of the photos for a larger view.
At the beginning of the tour we walked into a 200 foot tunnel of lights
with a changing display
of pure magic.
The tunnel introduced us gradually to the wonders we will find once we emerge from the tunnel.
The displays were breathtaking
and there was something new and magical around every corner.
The labour that went into constructing and orchestrating all of these LED light bulbs into a cohesive display was seemed like an impossible feat.
These colourful orbs
floated on freshly fallen snow.
The snow made the whole display more so much more special
with an added sprinkle and glow. May we add that it was the only bit of snow during our stay. It almost felt like special order snow.
The large-scale light-and-sound show was impressive,
but these orbs simply took our breath away,
floating on a frozen pond,
reflecting on the shimmering ice,
and changing colour from beautiful
to gorgeous.
What an amazing display!
We hope to be back in Denver and visit the gardens when they are in full bloom.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely Christmas.
Thank you, and we wish you and your family a wonderfully Merry Christmas!
The Blossoms of Lights event looks magical and shiny. I love the colourful orbs on the frozen pond. This sounds like such a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
It was a really nice way to get into the spirit; a beautiful gift of a shared experience and an unexpected gift of early snow!
Wow.. Beautiful!!
Thank you! We had a lovely time!
Stunning. What a wonderful experience. Enjoy your holidays.
Thank you! You too!
That is so gorgeous! Our local Arboretum does a Drive-Through Winter Wonderland Light Display. We take the grandchildren and other family members through it nearly every year. It’s a Holiday Highlight for us.
That sounds like a wonderful experience that they will cherish forever. What a beautiful Christmas tradition!
So beautiful. Thanks for taking us along to see the bright lights. Allan ????
Thank you for joining us, Allan!
that looks like a wonderful experience; your photos did a grat job of catching all the colors…
Thanks so much! My photos are not even close to depicting the magical experience. I did take a couple of videos, but they didn’t turn out great, so my photos had to so this time. I really need to learn to take better videos.
videos do add another way to remember an experience!
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you!
Wow it looks beautiful! Merry Christmas! Maggie

Those lights are truly magical! Really makes you feel like you’re in winter wonderland. 🙂
It sure did, and that fleeting snowfall was the icing on the cake! Happy holidays!

Happy Holidays!
Wow beautiful display. Certainly puts on in a Christmasy mood.
It sure did! Happy Holidays!
Incredible! I have a brother who lives near Denver and would love to see this one day. Our son and his fiancee passed through the Denver airport today on their way to rendezvous with us in Portland. Happy holidays to you and Tony!
I hope that your brother gets to go, and I am waving at your son and wishing him a safe trip. Enjoy your time with him and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I have noticed that there are more and more light shows like this around Christmas, when it is cold. Wouldn’t it be better to organise them in summer, when it’s warm. Merry Christmas!
it wasn’t cold actually, but if it was you just dress accordingly and it’s fine. I think it gets dark too late in the summer for this to be effective, and the lack of summer snow takes away some of the magic 🙂 Having said that, there are probably light displays in places like Australia where it’s nice and warm now!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was very cool!
Beautiful photos! Happy holidays!
Happy holidays!
You are all set for premium on gpsmycity. You can try it out in Denver!

Oh they look totally lovely. Have a wonderful Christmas ????
Merry Christmas!
Quite magical…thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for coming along!
excellent post
Thanks so much!
Magical! I didn’t know the Denver Botanic Gardens did this… Might have to catch it some year.
It was beyond my expectations for sure! If you do think of going get your tickets early as they sell out very quickly!
What fun!! Glad you were able to go – those tickets can be hard to get. You took some great pictures 🙂
Thank you! Yes, tickets were all sold out very quickly. Luckily someone other than us was well prepared 🙂
