After the hurricane force winds that blasted most of Colorado yesterday, we're basking in the sun and enjoying the still air. We saw a crazy thing at the bottom of our hill - a solitary elk chased away not one but 3 coyotes. Is it possible that the elk already had her baby and was protecting the area? We'll be keeping a sharp eye out...
The aspen did start leafing out while we were gone and they're opening up more by the hour. Green everywhere, flowers popping out, and lots of hummingbirds around now.
Had to take a photo of one of the baby spruce. Isn't the sunshade cute - hopefully it helps the survival rate. Actually we looked at all the baby trees when we got back - some look great but some already look stressed. We'll just have to cross fingers (and water a lot).
Quite a few people put teepees in their yard, thought it made a nice photo. It's very atmospheric - is it for decoration or what - don't know...
That top photo with the crisp clear sky against the snowy mountains looks fake as all get out! Crazy perfect!
