This is a photo was taken by our oldest daughter while she and Jason were up on the Uncompahgre Plateau (Un-come-pah-gray, with the accent on the pah). Winter on the plateau!
It’s melting here! Bright sunshine and warmer temperatures are quickly destroying all the footprints in the snow.
I am not sure if this is a canine with a bum leg or a lame deer. My vote goes for the deer–although, I’m really not sure. A dog could drag a leg, but more than likely they hop along on three legs.
Little birds…of which kind I’m not sure….we have quail, pheasant, plus many little song birds. There is also a possibility that mice have scampered over the birds tracks.
I have even brought out my EVERYDAY shoes! Feet need to see the sun! 🙂 That’s my theory, anyway! 🙂 I can only wear these ‘shoes’ when the snow is still frozen, the rest of the time–I wear boots.
Under the big cottonwood tree in the yard, the snow has melted and turned to dry dirt—makes a joy to haul wood. I even raked around the wood pile yesterday!
Another storm is due in here in a few days, but for right now! I’m enjoying this warmer weather and the sunshine! YAY!

I hope you’ll send some of that warmer weather this way. It was -5 when we left the house this morning. That’s much too cold for this old Southern boy!

According to the forecast we are in for a few days of cold, very wet and extremely windy weather – so we shall batten down the hatches. Love your snowy footprints.

Yay for the sun — and the photos of the tracks are really interesting and fun. Just looking at your bare feet makes me shiver. I can’t stand to have cold feet. (I even used to wear bed socks when we used to have winter. So glamorous, you know )) Can’t say I miss them!)

the flip flops on frozen snow were funny. 🙂

Yup. A line right down the middle of the country–weatherwise. Not sad at all to be on the warm side. Haven’t traded my shoes for sandals but I did dare take the car to wash off the road grit and chemicals without the fear of all the locks freezing shut.

I love it when all the snow is fresh and pristine and you can see all the little wildlife tracks in it! Then along comes puppy and kitty tracks, too, once they brave the cold. Love your header and pictures, Linda!
Blessings!

I laughed at your flip flops. They are my go to shoes when I need a pair quick.
We’ve had very warm weather here too. Had 3 inches of snow one day, by morning it was gone and we had mud everywhere! Was interesting feeding cows.
The wood pile yard looks nice. I have a raking addiction. I rake everything. Lol! Must be my OCD! Hehe

Great shot of Boomer. Love all the footprints. Flip-flops and sandals are never far away for some of us. 😉 I didn’t expect to find yours outside on the snow, though!

I can barely stand having bare feet when I’m in the shower in the winter, and you outside with flip flops on. 😀 Crazy woman!

Here in Minnesota that would be how a large buck deer would drag his feet in the snow. 🙂

You must be pretty tough to don those shoes this time of year! Very nice view from the plateau!
