A Feeling of Springtime in My Heart

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.

  1. 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!

  13. Beautiful 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 :)

  15. The 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.

  23. I 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.
