Winding River

On the other side of the last picture seems to be a river that never ends. Curving left, right, left, right as it snakes down the mountain. But to where is the question. Another river? A bigger river? A lake, or body of water?

Up River

On a bridge, that overlooked an ice covered, snow covered, and somewhat flowing river was me and my car. The river was only a few inches deep and made the river bumpy and gave it some depth. They were similar to multiple miniature waterfalls. Some of the times the rocks were too big and went out of the river and didn't make the waterfall.

Mountain High

Any place on a high mountain you can see forever. The way that the snow tracks are to the way the snow on the mountains is what makes this picture. The main color in this picture is white, the snow and clouds. The picture is simple, a third of it is snow tracks, another is mountain and the final third is the blue and mostly clear sky.

Slope

The snow was exactly how you would like it to be in the spring, not too slushy and not too icy but something in between. This is what the snow was like, even though it was 45 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 20 something at night. Unfortunately for some other ski slopes, their snow was either icy or slushy, not what we had.

Hive

On the side of a cliff, which I did climb, were multiple hives of some insect. I believe it is either a Mud Dabber or Hornets home. There was no insect in them and no evidence about who or what built them. They must have been built before the first freeze and probably before winter if the insect builder wanted to stay and not die.

Train Sunset

It's another scenic movie where the sunset is on the horizon behind something, this time it's a train. The bright sunset contradicts with the dark train. What I like the most out of this picture is that I used the train to block out the sun. I positioned, not really, it so that it wouldn't be too much train or too much sun. Just kidding, this was just one of the lucky car ride shots that I took, nothing special.

Snow

There is snow in the sky and on the ground. These clouds are over the high, snow-capped mountain. The clouds over it might have been the clouds that dumped all of that snow. I don't know have much is up there but I think that there are at least 2 feet of snow. The elevation must be about 12,000- 14,000 feet so that much snow is not that uncommon.

Leaf

This dead leaf is resting in a bed of soft (not really) snow. I focused mostly of the ice particles but I also had just a little on the leaf.

Sunset Mountains

Although this is no multi red, yellow, and orange colors this still is a sunset. The sun, clouds, and mountains or the new colors of the sunset.

Flood Slopes

These are no ski slopes, they are probably flood slopes for when the snow melts. There is no gondola if you want to walk up it, you will find your perfect ski slope that's all to yourself.

Spring Melt

Spring in colder and snowier places always have a time when the ice melts and the ground starts to show. The beautiful rocks are peaking out of the once ice ground.

Ice Pancakes

The ice pancakes in the bottom right of the picture are pretty but not so tasty. Hi, would you like an ice-cake? No, thanks. After all this talk about pancakes and ice, I didn't even talk about the ice around the rocks.

Spring Flower

The spring flowers in Colorado are out and are showing themselves. I cut the left side open which is what you see sticking out.

Pine Trees

Pine Trees are evergreen trees, this means they are evergreen or green all year round. This is why even in 3 inches of snow they are green.

Splat

On the edges of this frozen lake, the ice had melted. I picked up some soft ice and threw it at the lake. The ice burst into thousands of different tiny ice pieces.

Melting Snow

The river has melted the snow above it. The warmer water has made this cool little cliff. What amazing things water can make.

Down Slope

You can see for miles and miles from these mountains. From the top I saw at least 50 mountain peaks and could probably see for 10 miles, it was so beautiful.

Under Bridge

Most people see the top side of a bridge, there is also a bottom side to it. The overhead sun provided for a direct shadow underneath it.

Spring Snow

Spring is the time of year that the snow is melting and the rivers are flowing, this is exactly what is happening here. The snow is in the precess of melting and the river is flowing. I went back later in the day and that piece of ice was gone.

Ice Mountains

This picture is of ice that has been frozen in different colors of white and clear. How they were formed, I have no idea. I believe it is from the waves and the time that the wave freezes.
