Fellow Extravaganzers:
It was just Sunday that I sent you the bright and budding pictures of a Rocky Mountain spring--larch trees and hawthorne bushes budding, lawn re-greening and all the semblances of a renewed season of color, warmth and rebirth. Such was the mental image that I had when going to bed last night and such was it again as I awoke this morning, only to look outside to ........a snowstorm!
As the pics above depict, spring in the Rockies can be and is a fickle thing, as the prediction is for between three and six inches of snow this mid-April pre-tax day (but not by much). Imagine yourself for a moment as one of the osprey who, just earlier this week, returned to her nest at the foot of Rock Creek Road, or as the chipmunk that just yesterday was warmly feeding out of the feeder that is attached to my office window, or as the robin that was grubbing for insects in our lawn over this past weekend...yes, imagine each of them just as I awakening today to....winter, er... Spring In The Rockies!
Best to all from the glorious scene of it all!
