heavy spring snow

We had a big heavy snow on Tuesday evening, a typical spring snow that broke bushes down and snapped branches .It stuck really well to everything, even wires like these tomato cages and to clotheslines. There were about eight inches or so and it was very wet - great for the yard. By Friday it was mostly melted again. I will be scaling back on this blog in the future so postings will be more scarce. There's lots to do now that Spring is near - gardening, taxes to work on, cleaning,  all sorts of other Spring -related things, all things that take up what was formerly blogging time. So maybe goodbye for a while.

in the shadows

Here are some sunset shots along the river. In the shadows there's still a lot of snow but where the sun hits it's all melted off. I like the contrast between the snowy shadowed river and the sunlit cliffs.

Wary Elk

Some roadside elk near Estes. She looked like she was moderately pregnant. She didn't trust us much.

Up to the Mountains

We drove up to Estes Park and took photos along the way. Here are a few snow and mountain pictures. That's longs Peak in the bottom shot.

Foggy

Sunday morning was foggy so I couldn't resist walking about and taking some pictures in the early morning before it burned off.

old time music duet

For a really nice old time fiddle/cello duet see this link on YouTube. I stumbled across it looking for some sheet music. Norman and Nancy Blake seem to be amazing musicians.
