The buds have been delayed in opening this year by about three weeks. And even as they began to open on April 12, temperatures plummeted and snow fell once again on April 13.
Rime ice covers the needles of pines and aspen stems following a freezing fog event. In the valleys low clouds sweep up the canyons following overnight passage of a cold front.

Compositionally Challenged Week 42 - Triangles
There were so many sailboats on the lake today, this is just a few of them. When we got home I looked online and discovered that a local sailing club was hosting the Colorado Governors Cup Regatta. It was perfect weather for sailing, and so cool to see them. : )
I was seated on a flat stone path and this dove arrived. I expected it would fly away. Rather, it came even closer and perched on this rock and just looked at me for a few minutes. Had I leaned forward, it would have been within arm's length. Then it chose to fly away and likely bed down for the approaching night. Rocky Mountain Front Range, Colorado, Dusk.
I was stalking butterflies when I heard a red-tailed hawk in the trees nearby, then a rustle as crows readjusted themselves. Then I noticed the vultures.
I was concerned that it might be a hiker, so I decided to check. As I approached, the hawk left first, then the crows. The vultures waited until I was quite close, then they left as well. A deer had gone down.
As I left, I saw the tree that the vultures had moved to, and made a mental note. The following day I returned armed with telephoto rather than macro, and walked to the carcass. Again, the vultures left, and I followed them to the same tree that they had used the previous day.

Mid-Afternoon Light, Pike's Peak Massif, Colorado Springs, Colorado. We hiked a loop on a trail around these rock formations. Always fascinating to see!
Our walk began with the sound of an agitated prairie rattlesnake nearby. Yikes! We had trekking poles in our hands, made a wide pass, and continued forward on the trail. The sound of a snake's rattle is always a startling, memorable warning!
