Spring is more a feeling than a season at high altitude.
Though the calendar might indicate spring, it still looks like winter in Breckenridge, CO.
In fact, we had 7 inches (17 cm) of snow earlier in the week.
Most likely, we'll have snow on the ground through May.
However, the lighting is different - there is a soft glow on the snow.
Beautiful sunsets linger late over the western mountains.
Temperatures are warming, and the melt/freeze cycle has started.

I want to thank all who have sent me positive wishes for healing.
I've posted some details about my illness and my journey toward health on Live and Learn.
I'm enjoying springtime both inside my heart and outside in my environment.
The feeling of spring is my One Good Thing today.
I think the longer days (along with DST) helps in giving us the feeling of Spring even if Mother Nature tries to withhold it from us!
ReplyDeleteAnd here you are again :) X
ReplyDeleteLoving your photos - those magnificent trees - and also your simply beautful words.
ReplyDeletehooray for light - inside and out.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it's feeling like springtime for you! Those tall trees look incredibly beautiful against the blue sky, love the light on the mountain tops too. :D
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the subtleties of Spring in Co are giving you pleasure. Such beauty has to perk up the mind and heart.
ReplyDeleteSpring in the mountains is very lovely. I especially like that second shot. So glad you are out and about.
ReplyDeleteThe feeling of spring is surely one wonderful thing! You described it perfectly.
ReplyDeletelovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThe lighting in your photos is wonderful.
I've been in Brekenridge but only in Summer.
Glad to see that you are publishing again. Great pictures. We also haven't seen spring yet this year and we are in a flat country.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
I'm so happy to see you're writing and posting your photos again Barb. I enjoyed your recording here in your words and photographs, the subtle signs of spring emerging in the high altitudes.
ReplyDeleteAnd one good thing for me is being able to see your photos and read your always inspiring words. You pass on your positive spirit.
ReplyDeleteA picture/prose poem filled with beautiful light (your spirit and the early spring sun). Again, welcome back. The fox footprint photo is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I loved them all but seeing the one with the fox tracks was special. I have just returned from a road trip and I actually got to see two foxes gamboling across a quiet country road. Too fast for me to get my camera but what a thrill to see them. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteYour eye for asking photos is fantastic. I'm thinking your spring is still weeks away. Carol
ReplyDeleteThe healing that's taking place is evident in your photos Barb. The glorious light you've captured resides within. Spring is late coming to us here in Wisconsin too but at least the snow is all gone. Happy weekend to you. Take good care now.
ReplyDeleteI found your blogs today and visited your other one first, and read about your healing journey. Blessings for a healthy year in your beautiful location.
ReplyDeleteOh, such good news to hear you're feeling well!
ReplyDeleteSpring looks mighty fine!
May this spring (despite the snowfall) rejuvenate and restore you.
ReplyDeleteContinued healing for you and I wish you a very happy Spring :) These photos are a delight.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you again Barb!! Beautiful captures and the snow is making me so jealous! Its burning hot here in India with unbearable humidity to go with the searing heat!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week :)
Like so many others, I am glad to see you blogging again. Sometimes when I read your words I am reminded that it's our Presence that is the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful views. I have read about your healing journey, hope you feel well soon
ReplyDeleteI have been back several times to enjoy "Spring" and the beautiful light that is in your post. Just realized that I have been "lurking" and meant to comment/thank you earlier. So good to have your observations and wonderful photos. And, still sending prayers and thoughts for healing your way.
ReplyDeleteso well described...happy u feel it there too:-) big WARM hug...
