Another April snowstorm in Colorado. Although I worry about my nipped fruit trees, the snowy landscape provides a dramatic canvas for photographs.
I donned a hat and a jacket assuming it would be bitter cold. The mile-high April sunshine had already started to melt the snow. I shrugged off my coat and took a walk.
The tulips are resilient to the spring snowstorm unlike the daffodils buried deep beneath the heavy blanket.
Usually the pond is frozen when we get a storm.
This photo captured the falling snow and the reflective pond.
Soon it will melt and the skies will clear. In the meanwhile, take a walk with me by clicking on the video below.
Are you ready for spring? What’s the weather like in your part of the world?

Beautiful, but I hope it melts and warms up soon.

Me too! My poor fruit trees, and we still have a ways to go before last freeze. Fingers crossed!

Colorado is known for its peaches grown on the western slope. My apple trees were so loaded one year, some branches broke!

We’ve had snow in April before, but not for many years. However, we’ve currently been getting heavy frosts at night, but warm sunny days. Perfect spring weather, and the spring bulbs don’t seem to mind.
