Snow, Snow, Snow!

Not quite in the same league as the boatloads recently dumped in the Northeast, but we have had a bunch of snow here as well. It’s hard to resist photographing in these conditions–despite temps that freeze the shutter finger and drain the batteries.

Yes, this is the most cliché view in Boulder…but it is still irresistible at sunrise after a heavy snowfall. At least I tried to make it slightly different by incorporating those large boulders (imitating large marshmallows, in this image) by the park headquarters building:
