We made it to River of Lights, which is the Albuquerque Botanical Garden light show. Every year it is bigger. Albuquerque’s botanical garden is many times larger than the one I volunteer at in Tucson, and is supported by the city, so they can do much more.
I’ve posted River of Lights photos on this blog many times before, so I won’t post very many photos of the exhibits we’ve seen before. Here’s just a few from the older sections of the park.
The new big thing this year was lights in the Japanese Garden. John and I remember years ago when they were first building the Japanese Garden. After it was complete, it was always my favorite part of the garden. But for years it was closed off during the light show. We were quite excited to see it open with lights this year.
In particular we were impressed with all the new bamboo lights.
We were so impressed that we went back the next morning to look at it in the daylight. That’s up next.
