Mother Nature's Wonders in Colorado

Just when I thought that it wasn't possible, it was even more beautiful this morning than yesterday! This photo was at sunrise so the snow was tinted red by the sunlight. If you look really closely, you can see Shyla waiting for me at the top of the hill.

The hoar frost was stuck to everything, again! With the sun out and a light breeze, I knew that the frost wouldn't last for long so we played like crazy in the magical world.

Sometimes, I wonder how I got so lucky as to have Shyla as my riding companion and best friend. Her joy is infectious.

I smile and smile as I watch her zoom around.

Our trails, most of which have a deep layer of snow on them, are in superb condition right now. The snow is packed so solidly that I can ride fast, with the only danger being the icy spots. Lots of the trails wend through aspen groves. The aspen trees lining the trails were delicately beautiful this morning.
Happy Saturday from Colorado!

    How GORGEOUS and Magical your world is KB!! It reminds me so much of when we rented a home in Cloudcroft, NM! Have you ever been there? It is breathtaking around there! Because it is so far up the mountain, it actually DID take my breath away! I had some issues with my asthma while visiting.

    Your pictures make me want to take a trip! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful world with us!!

    The aspen trees, truly gorgeous. And that blue sky, what they call " Winter Wonderland". Will you get that huge snow that is forecast coming from the west?
