Spring and back to winter

With my shortened camping trip to Guernsey State Park., I chose to came back to Cheyenne because we had a big storm coming in. We got over 14 inches of snow on May 18 and 19. These are photos from the park and had to watch for overhead branches that were damaged from the snow.

 At least one side is colorful for the firemen to find it.

More snow

Another weed and it's shadow. Or maybe this was an awesome wild flower last summer.

Potato Chip rock

 This is Vedauwoo's snow covered Potato Chip rock in Medicine Bow National Forest.  I made a quick stop yesterday while returning from Laramie as the temperature was 4 degrees with a light breeze. Road in only had two inches of snow on them so far.

Snowy bridge

It continues to be snowy and cold and hoping May will be warmer. This is the bridge in the park.

Blizzard - 4 days after the 1st day of SPRING

Living in Wyoming, we are used to weather events like blizzards instead of flowers in early Spring. And the ground hog event in February- well that's a joke here as we know there will be no early Spring whether or not he sees his shadow.  This is my giraffe that is a couple of feet tall in my patio. Seven inches so far.

 These are the bushes in front of my townhome. And the reason I was out, see photo below. I could not see out my front window and went out to broom the snow off.

Winter Patterns

This is a break from all the table top wine glasses that I have been photographing. The patterns that wind creates to snow and sand can shape ripples and drifts that are interesting.  This was later in the day and ended up with blue snow and didn't work to remove it. I found this along the Greenway in Mylar Park.  Okay, it was there last Tuesday the day I walked, probably not there now!

Snow sculpture

Snow left an interesting pile up from Monday's 10 to 12 inches of snow.

Snow again

Yesterday we again woke up to snow. We were expecting an inch or two and got four to five. This was taken on my way to the grocery store at Cahill Park. 

Snow continues to hang around. This was taken in Lions Park.
