May 1st Rocky Mountain Spring Snow Storm

Our Horses Midnight and Twiz

April snow showers bring May flowers and what do May flowers bring?  More snow showers apparently.  After some nice spring weather and seeing my first wildflowers a few days ago, we are having a huge snow storm in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  The mountains surrounding our horse farm have completely disappeared from sight and it's seems like the neighbors houses are going to be soon to follow. We're expecting a total accumulation of twenty to thirty four inches.

Here are a few photos of my spring time views.

First Spring Wildflowers in the Colorado Mountains

Purple Crocus Colorado Wildflower Poster 

Yesterday, on my way to see my pony, I saw my first wildflower of the year.  It was a purple crocus and is one of Colorado's many species of native wildflowers.  Later, while on a walk with my dog Chief, I saw a few groupings of pasque flowers as well...

They are also native to the mountainous regions of Colorado.  It was really nice to see them and I am very excited for more flowers to pop up and to be able to start gardening.

I recently took an interest in photography and this was the perfect opportunity to test out my skills.  I loved a few of the photos and used them to create some cool things on Zazzle.  Here are a few of my favorites...
