I took a quick trip to Colorado in April and enjoyed a lovely spring snowstorm the day after I arrived, followed by 80 degree days, lots of spring blooms, and of course, BIRDS!
I hope you enjoy this gallery of my trip - and if I didn’t get a chance to see you this time, I’ll be back in September and hope to connect then!
