Meijer Gardens in Spring, Finding Peace ~ 5/15/18

Construction is everywhere and has now expanded into the parking lots. But after a quick walk (sometimes not so quick) you can bypass it and enter into Spring at Meijer Gardens. Pedals are everywhere, raining down on you in the wind, some already on the ground or water below, and other blossoms are still going strong.
'Colossus' has its own special background right now.
Volunteers and employees were digging up the tulips and will send them out to be mulched. Sad to see them go but their time is up (1st photo taken 5/7/18).

The Japanese Garden is beautiful in any season but it's great to see it fill out.
'Existence' sculpture group enhanced by flowers,
 'Grand Rapids Arch' in the background,
and a delicate beauty rests on a rock.
It seems like last week when I took these photos (maybe it was :-) ).
In what can be an ugly world sometimes, we need to remember to find the beauty in it. Peace & love.
