Springtime In Colorado

FonDip Mayıs 08, 2022

I'm back to blogging about Colorado after many posts about our trip to Italy--you can see those posts under this label "Italy"    Meanwhile, Spring came slowly to our home state of Colorado. Our high elevation above sea level means that we can receive snowfall until the end of May. Colorado is the only U.S. state that lies entirely above 3,280 feet (1000 meters) in elevation. Our climate is considered 'high desert" so our low humidity and hot sun often make temperatures feel warmer than the thermostat reads during the day, while evening and night temperatures are cool.  It is not unusual to see snow at the highest elevations right up until the end of June, although snowpack this winter was less than normal in many places, and many of those high elevations are now open to driving and hiking.


Springtime means the new fawns are being born and the bucks are re-growing their antlers.  This buck was right outside our kitchen window!


Spring winds brought beautiful and unusual cloud formations...


...all along the Front Range of Colorado.


Spring rains brought green grass and beautiful wildflowers to the foothills...


..as well as to our front yard garden!


The best part of springtime in Colorado for me was spending quite a bit of time with my grandchildren and enjoying all their activities. Taekwondo, lacrosse games, school field days, birthday celebrations, dance recitals, preschool graduation, rodeo day, and pool time!  It has been a fun and busy time for all of us, with more fun occasions ahead as the summer arrives.
