Boulder Colorado Rain Storm Photos We had a pretty good storm move through the Boulder area y a couple of days ago. It only lasted about a half hour, at least the strongest part of it, before moving on. The good news is that it was rain and not snow. Just last week we had several inches of snow. ...

Boulder Tulips Still Smiling Tulips are still in full bloom all over town here in Boulder. I love the variety of colors.

Amazingly Simple, Elegant and Beautiful… I’ve become fascinated with the River Rock Art along Boulder Creek. Someone has been busy working overtime to create these monuments of nature. The rock stands seem to just appear almost out of nowhere. Whoever is doing it is quite determined. The rocks ar...

More Snow in Boulder Colorado: What happened to Springtime? The trees and flowers must be really confused here in Boulder and around the Denver Metro area. We just had our third and largest snow for the month of May. A large storm moved through the area yesterday. A cold rain fell for most of the...
