Crested Butte in September

I finally figured out how to get internet here at the condo.....
when I saw Di's post I decided to add my view of winter in the
Rockies. It was 22 this morning, this afternoon snow was falling in
the mountains, and I even experienced snow on Elk Street in Crested Butte.
The locals said it is unusual to be this cold in September. All I know
is I am overwhelmed by the beauty....and Robin...you were right.
The Colorado skies are incredible, too.

Wow, this is stunning Petesie! Jeff and I were watching a Canadian football game over the weekend and it was snowing in Calgary. Way too early for me!

Beautiful! The Rockies are a fabulous place to shoot. Plan on going up there sometime next year when it thaws a little. You did very well! Glad you got there safe and sound and look forward to more shots. You got my vote!!

BTW....have a safe trip home to Texas, ya here?

Beautiful contrast, Petesie of each side. Can you believe snow?

Right Petesie, the whole area ... skies, mountains, storms, trees etc. are much to enjoy and to be alert to. I'm glad you are having a good experience.

Petesie, that is outstandingly beautiful! The aspens and the snow are magical together.

Hey girl! I sure wish we could have managed a hook up. I love Crested Butte and know it's amazing this time of year. You were colder than me...I only saw 31 degrees but with the wind chill it felt like -31! It went right through me! Glad you are having a wonderful time.

Why that looks like a storm blowing in them thar mountains. And do I see the gold of the Aspen? Well done.
