Ever since launching the wander + wonder website I have told myself to spend less time in front of the computer and more time outdoors! Especially now that spring is sneaking back into my life. The past two days were 70 degrees! It's time to be less sedentary and more active. Yesterday, I took a walk to downtown Golden. I walked along Clear Creek where people were kayaking, tubing and sunning themselves. Sophie and I sat quietly watching and at some point I dipped her feet in the water but she screamed out -- I guess that mountain water was a little to cold for her liking. On Monday I went for a hike on the trail behind our house -- took some photos along the way. Walking through our neighborhood, you can see lots of tulips and daffodils, buds on trees, and front lawns turning green, but once you get into 'real' nature it feels like a lot of the world is still in hibernation. There are the occasional wildflowers blooming though and I love how they inspire me to kneel down, admire them from close up and snap a picture. I can't wait for the little lizards to come out and even a snake or two would be fun to see. The mountain lions and rattlers can stay away, though. A little lady bug landed on Sophie's head which is supposed to be good luck and a sure sign of spring. Yippeeeee.

It snowed and I noticed this bunny frolicking about - I grabbed the camera and got a couple cute shots. Poor little snowy rabbit trying to stay warm in the winter. I do love our backyard and hope this series will inspire more backyard photos, especially as the seasons change and more wildlife make appearances.
