Enfin le printemps !

After several snow events, today, Sunday 19th (April) was very sunny and therefore warmer.

Of course I spent the day outside biking, hiking in the mountains and taking a lot of photos…

Back in town I stopped by my usual spot for photos, the ponds near pearl street.

I got a surprise :

MINK !

A mink was wandering on the rocks, very curious and not afraid of me.

Hopefully I’ll see it more often now :)

Tough times for birds

While a big snowstorm in Boulder, I took some bird photos :

Blue Bird vs Robin

Here a blue bird and in the background a robin. Blue bird are usually in the mountains, this is the first time I see them in town. They would feed on the same tree where the robin were.
