RMNP spring (not yet)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSpring, within 6 days of Beltane. Yesterday. Thunder snow. Took Gertie by surprise.

A poster on a local website said spring up here doesn’t come until Mother’s Day is past and the aspens have leafed out. Mid-to-late May. Seasonal definitions get a workout here in the mountains.<\/p>\n
