Landscape SIG - visit Horsetooth Falls on your own, until early June
Note that this should be a very good spring to get local waterfall pictures. I will be going to Horsetooth Falls in the next week. Even if you have been there in the past, this year should have lots of water. I will be waiting so I’m not walking in the mud. Mornings are best. I will arrange a Zoom meeting in early June to share images.

Macro SIG - Thursday, May 27, 2021
Location: Long’s Gardens, 3240 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80304
Car Pool Location: Meet at the Front Range Community College parking lot on the southwest corner of the campus (at the intersection on S. Shields Street and Westbury Drive). Please note that Harmony is closed from Mason to S. Shields on May 27.
Departure Time: 8:15 am: Please confirm your attendance so that we do not leave anyone behind. Long’s Gardens open at 9:00 am. I expect that we will arrive at the gardens shortly after opening.
Garden status per their website post on May 19: “Currently, the Standard Dwarf Bearded iris are in good bloom and the Miniature Dwarf Bearded iris still have blossoms. The Intermediate Bearded iris are coming into good bloom. The Tall Bearded iris are not yet in bloom. The sun is out today and the fields have dried some after the recent rains. The digging is easy.”
I hope to see you at our outing.
Smiles,
Paul Marcoux
