aaron neville & the neville brothers

Murray & Cheryl (Nicole's folks) treated us kids (Tonya & Jeremy) to a wonderful concert the the Denver Botanic Gardens to see Aaron Neville & The Neville Brothers from New Orleans. The show was terrific and Aaron gave his spirited rendition of "Amazing Grace," which sent goose-bumps into the crowd. A special thanks to Murray for the know-how of camping at the gate hours early and then know to run and get the best seats! They were worth it. We got there early and enjoyed some summer picnic treats before the concert started.

I love simplicity. "Brevity is the sole of wit," my father once told me.

The 360 degree stage at the Botanic Gardens makes for an interesting backdrop, not typical for a outdoor music venue.

And with the light being great, it was hard not to escape to the gardens to capture some botanics in our style.

I like the cinematic quality in this one.

And, similarly, in this little guy, too.
