Life in Estes Park

How is Spring treating you?
Are you enjoying all the beauty that Spring brings with it?
Such a wonderful time of year.


When we first arrived here in Estes Park, CO
 I thought maybe we had come in the wrong month.
Was it really May?


That's because we got a few feet of snow!!

What!!  It's May!!



 We were snowed in for two days.
But I must admit I LOVED every minute of it.
We had fun taking walks and playing in the snow.


It's all gone now and we were left with all the beauty of Colorado



Yep, I do believe I am going to enjoy our time here in Estes Park.
Even if Mother Nature played a little trick on us.



I have been on the lookout for fences for Theresa's meme.
I kinda like the way this one looks.  
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen it already.

Thanks so much for stopping by my friends.
I really do appreciate all your kind comments. 

Hugs~

I'm a one of your stalkers...often visiting but rarely commenting, however, tonight a comment as you're visiting my old stomping grounds...Colo! Enjoy your visit it's an awesome state. And yes, it's snows on Mother's Day, like I said it's Colo! Hugs from a transplanted Coloradoan.

Oh Linda WOW Estes Park. is beautiful. I would think if I was going to be snowed in anywhere this would be the place I would pick, incredible. Enjoy and have fun. Love your home on wheels. Hug B

The r.v. sitting in the wooded snowy area is just surreal. This should be framed for the day, if you ever park her for eternity.

*sigh* so beautiful!!!!

Carol Blackburn said...

The weather is crazy ... We arrived in Majorca to rain!! Never have I been there when it rained!
Love your photos all the same ... looks like a terrific place to get lost in!

It looks like it is just beautiful there, even with the snow, Linda.

Have a wonderful stay, my friend! xo.

Jacqueline said...

Fancy having snow in May! Amazing - so glad you enjoyed it too - I think I would as well! We have just had a hail storm here, could be a disaster for the vineyards. Oh well, we can't change the weather. Have a lovely time where you are, Linda!

Ruth Kelly said...

Yes, that snow storm blew past Utah and right into Wyoming and Colorado. That gate with the wire looks familiar. I think it used to be a popular gate back in the day.

Gail Dixon said...

I'll never forget our vacation in CO Springs in May, 2010. It snowed on us! Coming from Texas, we were in heaven. :) Whether CO is snowy or green, it is absolutely beautiful. And your photos certainly reflect its beauty.

Silvia(Barnie) said...

I enjoy spring, we've had summer temperatures here in Germany during the last few days. Thankfully no snow.

G Peplow said...

I love Spring too, and the surprises we get, all because we have the promise of a little sun to come! Glad you're enjoying your time there and thank you for sharing your wonderful photos :D xx

Ida said...

Well that snow would be a surprise. Such beautiful scenery you are privy too there. Your fence shot is wonderful.

Hootin Anni said...

Oh my....Oh my....I grew up and raised my family [over 40 years] just a few miles from here...

Like visiting home!!! Thanks for this.

Your photographs are amazing!
Thank You so much for sharing them with us, I've truly enjoyed your post!

Margaret Birding For Pleasure said...

Fantastic shots.Love the blossom, the snow with the boots, the misty shots with reflections and lastly the angle you shot of the chain fence from.

Audrey Pettit said...

Wow, what crazy weather...snow in May?? But that's kinda cool, too. Gives you a chance to see your new summer home in a whole progression of seasonal beauty. Made me wonder, though, how you keep warm in your trailer? LOVE all the beautiful photos! I truly adore seeing all the places you get to visit through the lens of your camera!

Cranberry Morning said...

That's a fantastic gate shot! But I'll have to tell you, I am having a hard time seeing beauty in snow any more. Our winters are so long and so constant in NW Wisconsin that I was glad to wave goodbye (finally) to the snow. :-)

Sue Lelli said...

OMGosh ~ snow??? Wonderful photos! LOVE the good fences!

Pamela Gordon said...

Your photos are beautiful and I love the old fence gate! Enjoy the holiday weekend.

Davi said...

Snow in May, hard to imagine!! It looks like a beautiful area, Im sure you will enjoy you summmer there. The gate shot is really cool! Hasnt been to bad here, a few days hot then it cools a bit. Be nice if it would keep it up but thats wishful thinking of course :) Looking forward to you showing us around Colorado my friend!!

Sylvia said...

Just catching up on the commenting this week, Linda! I love your photo's as always and they are so Colorado as the scenes could be in some different places in that beautiful state. Colorado is like a fairyland when it snows, so magical! Hope you still enjoy it at the end of your stay! Happy weekend!

Karen @ Pieces of Contentment said...

Wonderful images. Nature is full of surprises, most of them beautiful!

Mona Pendleton said...

Beautiful photos Linda! Hope you have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend!

Tracy said...

Oh gosh that snow was gorgeous wasn't it. It sure was hiding some amazing scenery. What a place to spend the summer. Hope there are some fish in there to catch. :-) Have fun my friend! Hugs!

Catherine said...

Hmmm...nope....snow love and fun do not belong together in a sentence. LOL!
Glad you were able to enjoy it though!
xo Catherine

Justine said...

amanda said...

I love every one of your magical photos, Linda!! These ones are particularly awesome!!!
Can't wait to see what summer brings for you there at Estes.
Our next door neighbor's granddaughter was married there in Estes State Park just a couple of years ago. They just love it!
We've never been.. it was just out of our time reach while in vacationing in Breckenridge a couple of summers ago with the kids.

Stella said...

I always enjoy looking at your fab photos ( and being a big FAN on everything you share on Instagram!!). I never ever get tired of looking.... Colorado looks beautiful and you have a perfect eye to catch something special in every photo. WOW!

Oh, these pics are all so very, very wonderful, Linda. :) Can't believe how much snow you had! The snowy pics, and the 'melted' pics, are all terrific. Glad you're sharing your journey with us all. :)
