Looking west from the top of Cottonwood Pass. Colorado From Hwy 24 in Buena Vista, go west on Main Street at the light. The signs will direct you to the pass. Closed for the winter from usually October to May. Beautiful views at the top looking east or west. Parking at the top.

Something beautiful for your day 🌿 Flowers don’t wait to bloom until they have an audience ~ Flowers bloom because they are flowers and that is what they are meant to do Bloom where they are planted and always joyful to reach for the sun And hold the dew from the evening until morn. Bloom in joy 🌿

Illuminated Moon through the trees from a few weeks ago over the Colorado foothills. Camera flash lit the trees while the moon shone brightly.

Distorted. The view through a glass of wine. Celebratory gathering before the escape room.

Simple pocket and tag make for a junk journal. Put large clear with black design print washi tape over recycled tissue box and then cut it to the pocket and tag shapes, rounded corners and cut notch in top of pocket. All ready to go into my junk journal now. #junkjournal #art

Deer prance When you can watch wildlife close up, you learn more about them. Deer prance. For moving so fast when they need to, seeing the prancing was delightful. The prancing is slow and calculated and added a whole new dimension to what I knew about them. They are smaller than I thought. 🦌🦌🦌

Daily joy from me to you. Along the way where the tide is out.

With the coming drought like conditions and water restrictions here at least in Colorado because of a dry winter and inadequate snowfall, this is a great book that features low water plants you can use in your yard to save water and still have an interesting yard to enjoy. See ALT for more info 🌿

Colorado sky near sunset. It’s official. We have not had normal or adequate snowfall this winter here. The first city in the state has declared water restrictions for the summer. See ALT for more.

11 seconds of snow against a brown background onto a bare winter tree out my kitchen window No sound (saved you all from my childlike glee at the snow commentary ☺️)

youtu.be/PLs_hB9YkCA?... A little bit of John 🩵🌿

Yes, winter is nearing an end and spring is already bud splaying and popping out from below the winter soil. It will be time for spring body art soon. After a bit of wandering and exploring, I will come back renewed and ready to paint spring. 🌷🌼🌸 Untamed Canvas Studio 🌱🌿🍃🐬🎨🩵

A Colorado sunset for you. Good night BSky 🌱🌿🍃🐬🩵

Round colors. Colorful decor from a local eatery. Something joyful for your day from me to you. 🌱🌿🍃🐬

Inked Art challenge: Create a piece with no intersecting lines. In this piece I used various Pigma pens including brush pen. I used a chipboard circle to draw around and t-square. View it enough and you will see layers. My apologies for glare but it is framed. Untamed Canvas Studio 🍃🌿🌱🐬

Sunset Daily joy from me to you The Colorado foothills are in shadow while the back range of mountains have a bit of sunset glow. The setting sun looks like a yellow and white fan just behind the mountains. White, yellow and orange diffuse gently across the sky and filter up to the blues. 🍃🌿🌱🐬🩵

youtu.be/iGcY6QIHWlU?... Yes, more weather to watch for next week.

Objets d’art 😁 Bike wheel triangular art Through a double lens Repurposed bike wheels are arranged in a triangle to add interest to a park garden. Keep on rolling 🌱🌿🍃🐬

Bonbons Surprise gift 🤗 Daily ‘sweet’ joy from me to you. From Stam Chocolaterie in Lafayette, Colorado A mix of dark, light and white chocolate.

Beauty among thorns. Beauty is all around us. Sometimes we have to look a little harder to see it. It’s there. Through a double lens. Yellow flower with green and grey green thorny leaves.

Closer pic of sky window that shows more detail. There are two in my bath and they allow so much wonderful natural light in, sunlight and moonlight, that I rarely have to turn the light on in here. The snow dampens the light a bit. Big hailstorms on these sky windows are a bit unnerving. 🌱🌿🍃🐬

Snow on the sky window A little bit of sunlight is shining through

Sunset over the Collegiate Peaks Colorado The peaks have a bit of snow on them while the clouds open up to a little peek of the far western sky. The base of the clouds appear to be on fire from the setting sun.
