Wendy and I take a short hike out of NCAR on May 2nd, 2013
The snow-covered Flatirons are gorgeous
Some icicles hanging in the shade of a rock
Some icicles over a flowing creek "frozen" due to a 1/4 second exposure
A "Polar Bear Ice Figurine" in the creek! ;-)
After a foot of snow in late April, I went for a short hike out of NCAR on April 23rd - here's a few pictures from my iPhone.

In mid-April/2013, Colorado had quite a bit of "late" snow/weather ... so on a sunny April 18th morning,
I took a walk around the open space surrounding our neighborhood. It was quite beautiful and peaceful
as I tromped through a foot of snow.
Near the end of my walk, I came across some trees/bushes were some Robins were warming up in the morning sun.

The Robin "puffs up" to stay warm
Flying off the branch - mouseover image to see in action!
Another Robin closeup - looks a bit chilly
There was quite a few of them on the sun-facing branches
Plus quite a few on the ground
