We got a few inches of snow last night and today! It was such a beautiful day that I had to go around Boulder taking pictures, like a good photography nerd. I went up to Chautauqua, the cemetery nearby, and drove a little ways into Boulder Canyon. The contrast between the colorful leaves suggesting fall, and the snow suggesting winter was great!
The cemetery I visited to take a few pictures is so pretty and it's got some great old trees. I used to play in the leaves there when I was a kid. Is it weird to have great childhood memories of playing in a cemetery? I find cemeteries kind of peaceful actually. I don't visit them too often but when I do, especially when they're in a really pretty setting, it's kind of nice. I remember playing in the trees and jumping into piles of leaves, and I'm not sure I've been back to that cemetery since I was a kid so it definitely reminded of of those days. I was also reminded of how beautiful Colorado is! Sometimes I get so busy in my life that I forget to look up at the mountains that are right in front of me and just stare at them for a minute. I was glad I took some time to do that today!

The top picture is so neat! Not very often do you see the beautiful fall colors combined with snow, usually just one or the other :)
ReplyDeleteI wish it was like that here in Las Cruces...it's cooling off a little, but still mostly way too hot for this time of year. :(
Thanks Erika! It was pretty cool to see the pretty leaves contrasted with snow. We don't see it often here either, and now it's warming up again now...but fall's definitely in the air and apparently winter is not far behind!
