Letters to a friend...: Snow in May is not that unusual for Colorado ;)

About this blog:

We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...

And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.

Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Snow in May is not that unusual for Colorado ;)

We all know May in Colorado is time for green leaves and bright flowers... But... sometimes you wake up in the night and find the temperature dropping down and the snow falling from the sky...

May 21, 2019 brought us exactly that. Snow... It started late the night before and didn't look really bad...

It didn't look any bad until the next morning, when we found a thick and heavy snow covering everything...

The snow blanketed the ground and bent the trees. Many of the branches were unable to hold the weight and moved from vertical to horizontal position and even broke...

But... you know... it looked amazingly good! Snow covered leaves and grass and everything looked like a fairy tale... Who expected such a turn in the weather? I hadn't...

But... it was still May and snow was melting with great speed. Just a couple hours later the pavements were clear and by noon most of the snow was totally melted releasing the branches and leaves...

And the next day we had only patches of snow left and the sun was shining again... May in Colorado - you never know...

The pictures were taken on May 21, 2019.
