The Boulder Flatirons: A Winter Playground!

On our way from Winterpark to Julie & Dan's (my sister & fiance) home in Loveland, Colorado my brother & I made a stop at the lovely Flatiron mountains in Boulder, our old stomping grounds. It had snowed the day before, so the mountains were stunning under the blue sky. After it snows, the Flatirons, Chautauqua Park, becomes a winter playground with sledders, snowshoers, cross-country skiers, and trail runners. Even though we did not have our winter gear to enjoy the winter wonderland, we did have a camera and lens...which turned into an "action" photo shoot!

One must and should return to places that have made them who they are today. There should be happy memoriesto bring forth a contentment in life. I love entering Boulder even thouogh I never lived there but my children have. It is a truly beautiful place with the foothills in the distance and the history of the CU campus.
