It’s been wild and crazy this week, a true Colorado Spring. Today there’s been rain and a wild little snowstorm. Two days ago it was almost 70 degrees, sunny and perfect. It looks like we’ll get more of the same, at least for a few more days.
I’ve snapped some pictures this past week, and thought it high time I shared. Enjoy!
Harper's Lake in Louisville the morning after a good night's rain.
New little yellow flowers on a tree near the pond, shining brightly in the sun after a rainstorm.
My favorite picture of the spring; the green buds contrasting with the burnt-orange of fall leaves that never fell!
Longs Peak, as seen from Davidson Mesa.
A little bird perched on a dead stalk in the middle of the Davidson Mesa.
Irises in the rain. They've opened a few times this week, but mostly they're staying tucked away where it's warm.
Kirby sitting in the front yard after the fast-and-furious snowstorm at noontime. I snapped the picture mid-lick, she was getting a drop of snow that had fallen on her nose!
I grew up in the Northeast, and am partial to the long, gradual springs we see here. But your photos made me remember how much fun it is to have a crazy Colorado spring, in which your just-bloomed irises may get covered by a foot of snow … in May (true story from my freshman year at CU!). Thanks for sharing.
