Life Untamed

Posted by jennifer on April 19, 2007.

Not many people get the opportunity to live so close to nature. I've been very fortunate to get a glimps of life in the wild. As the snow melts away, the grass grows lush green with spring flowers. The trees are blooming, the sun is out and gusts of snow whip off the mountain in breath taking sweeps. At 14,000 feet, you can only imagine that every breath you take is harder with each step. Moose chew on the leaves while you hike past in the backcountry and at night, the yips and howls of the coyotes will wake you out of a deep sleep. This is spring in Colorado and Colorado has taken a piece of my heart...

The greyish- white clouds looked like fast moving cotton that could have left me sea sick. It's an amazing experience to live up in this elevation where nature often leaves me saying "wow"....
