Spring Time in Denver

[larryj]

Spring time in Colorado the weather can be unpredictable and changes occur very quickly. The 2 photos below were taken in my backyard 2 days apart. The crab apple tree in my backyard is covered with snow on April 22nd and clear of snow on April 23rd. The high temperature of the 20nd was 38 degrees F and on the 22nd is expected to be 74 degrees F. From winter to spring in 2 days!

This looks like Life in the Rockies as I recall it - with lots of broken branches from the weight of the snow on the new leaves and flowers. You did get some nice contrasts between the pink flowers and the snow right after it fell.

My daughter sent me photos of her rear deck on Saturday with a few inches of snow. I was wishing I was there instead of being in Cloudy California.
