| In the past, I have shown you my visits to the Tulip Festival in Woodland Washington and the amazing Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia, but today I went to a new Tulip Festival just blocks from my new home at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. |
 |
| I don't know if you can see clearly, but this and the next picture shows how they planted ground hugging flowers in with the tulips in colors that complement the tulips. |
 |
| I was really charmed by it. |
 |
| Is this not enchanting? |
 |
| The grounds were very large with winding paths, charming foot bridges and large expanses of lawns, trees and brightly colored tulips at every turn. |
 |
| I don't know what the name of these cute as a button flowers are but I'm sure my friend Nicole at http://www.mygardendiaries.com/ will know! |
 |
| I love the purple pansies with the orange tulips! |
 |
| Since I went alone with just my camera as company, I had to ask a nice stranger to take my pic! |
 |
| Standing as sentinel over this beautiful garden is "my" majestic Mt. Timpanogos. I consider it my mountain because it watched over me during my college years at BYU. After 50 years, I don't look much like I did in college but my mountain looks reassuringly the same. Thank you for joining me on this sunny day in the Rocky Mountains. I'm so glad you came! Love, Derrith |

I haven't been to that Tulip Festival, I am never there when it is going on! But I recognize Timp... such a beautiful mountain, I love seeing it, it makes me feel calm...such good family memories of That area back in my mind, as long as i can remember.
Thanks for the fun lunch! We forgot to take pictures together! We were talking so much! ;)
