We have been having an abundance of rain this spring!
Our hills and meadows have turned lush and green.
All last week thick clouds rolled in and it rained daily. We did not get hail in our area but some parts of the Colorado front range had golf ball size hail.
I've been missing my walks, so one evening when the sky cleared I chanced a long walk along a nearby trail in my community.
The trail passes by many large red rock formations...
...do you see the person standing on top of one of them?
We saw many deer along the way including a young buck growing his first set of antlers. After a long harsh winter, they are enjoying eating all the fresh new green growth.
This deer doe will be having her fawn pretty soon.
The horses must have missed their walks too!
It was nice to see a good flow of water in all the creeks...
...and the first wildflowers and cacti coming back to life.
There are many beautiful trails in our area, and I'm glad you came along with me on this one!

That nearby trail is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you from your Vroom Vroom Team for sharing your links with us at #262 SSPS Linky. Please check back weekly to see if featured on the blog post or by any of the co-hosts.
To see all this green is beautiful indeed. I wish we had some rain here. It is now late May and evidently the second dryest month on record. The farmers are worried, especially in our grain growing region. Enjoy your spring. Take care. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clouds.
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful walking views!
ReplyDeleteStunning countryside and beautiful photos. I love cloudy days like this, perhaps because we don't get them all that often. Nice to see the horseback riders!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteAmazing scenes. Eagerly waiting for monsoon season here in India
ReplyDeleteNice to see the lush greenery and wildlife thriving after the rain. I especially liked the horse-riding shots, so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHello Pat,
ReplyDeleteYou do have gorgeous views on your walks. I like the red rock formations. We see the horseback riders often on our fire roads. I love seeing the horses and the deer. Pretty wildflowers and beautiful skies! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy Memorial Day weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Pat - thank you so much for your comment on my blog - I remember well your posts about the trip to Genoa - so glad your husband had that opportunity before some of the family passed away.
ReplyDeletePat - I am so glad you are getting rain - it will help drought, and hopefully delay fire season. And I am glad to be able to come along with you for such a gorgeous stroll, especially with those fabulous cloud formations!
