The terrible rains and floods that decimated communities around Boulder and Estes Park recently had the opposite effect on the gardens. Unusual for this time of year, many plants were still in bloom and color was lush. Inside the main building behind the central plant display and water feature is a small gallery that has done intriguing art shows. This time Charles Coulter was presenting works in wood and plastic in a show called Reallocate.
I was impressed with the craftsmanship. The work was really fine with recessed areas in the pieces where plastic objects were inlaid. In some the composition continued from the surface around the edges and onto the sides of the wood and delicate painted areas enhanced the work.

And then there are the natural artists that live in the gardens. Here's one created by the spiders.
