Two purple sentries,
in different stages of development,
stand and watch at the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum.
For the record –
and should you ever visit Greeley –
the museum has much, much more
to see and do
than merely purple flowers
to photograph and view.

Another flower
another shade
but still enjoying the incredible diversity
of the gardens at the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum.

A different type of purple flowers,
although still in the gardens of the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum
and I still don’t know their name.
I appreciate their color and their beauty.

Some day I need to learn the names of all these flowers.
Some day.
The gardens at the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum
are extensive
and at least to my eye, untrained in the ways of flora,
impressive.

The 2011 Colorado trek had elements of
sadness mixed with joy.
Our friend Steve died before we arrived,
but we gave thanks with his family and friends
as we witnessed to the Resurrection
and celebrated his life.
Steve lived in Greeley:
some among his friends called him
the Bishop of Greeley.
There in his domain,
we found the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum
and many gardens
and many purple flowers.
These are the first.
Others will follow in weeks to come.
