We had an big early snowfall this week. Nearly 2 feet blanketed the area, knocking down tree limbs, closing schools and hastening the retreat of fall. I say early because usually we get our first significant snowfall on halloween night. I know because I have been in the trick-or-treat chaperone business for the past twelve years. :)
Sunday, April 26, 2009 at 1:09PM This morning was a beautiful morning and to celebrate, I took a camera walk at Sawhill Ponds. The ponds are an open space area owned by Boulder County which used to be a gravel quarry. It's a popular spot to walk, birdwatch or fish and I'm lucky to live just a few minutes away. Here are a few shots from my walk, too bad I didn't have a microphone as the birds voices were quite animated.
To view a shot of a goose egg after a run-in with a fox go to my Image-of-the-Week.
Sawhill Ponds and the adjacent Walden Ponds are located off of 75th Street, between Jay Rd. and Valmont Rd, about 5 miles east of Boulder.
