Mountain Bluebell Snow

It is amazing that flowers and snow go together, but in the Colorado Rocky Mountains they are spring companions. When the heavy winter snows finally melt away the earth begins to awaken and the flowers burst forth from their winter slumber. The season is short and the flowers do not hesitate. Mountain Bluebells are among the first. The inevitable spring snows are heavy and laden with nourishing moisture and the bluebells are once again completely buried. But undaunted they emerge from the melting snow into the warm sun over and over.

May 2010 Free Wallpaper Calendar

A tiny spring rivulet of a creek bubbles and burbles down the hillside past lichen covered rocks. The bluebells lining the brook sway gently in the breeze as a slow meandering bee lights from flower to flower. The air is scented with earth and water; flower and pine. I hope you have a chance to go outside and enjoy your own unique spring walk. In the meantime, please enjoy your new wallpaper calendar for May.
