Dale and Lilli enjoying the Rio

Here are Dale and Lilli enjoying the Rio. She had a great time throwing pennies in the big fountain and asking each of us for our wish. What a character!

Here's the whole Colorado gang on Mother's Day. Todd, Liesl, Lilli, me, my sister Vicki, Dale and Vicki's husband, Neil. We just finished visiting the local brunch restaurant and are enjoying the sunshine.

Towards the Foothills

The foothills are beginning to green up and the trees are slowly leafing out, this has been a slow spring, but the flowering trees are finally in full flower.
I love all the apple, crab apple, plum and fruit trees in Fort Collins. Right now you can drive from one end to the other and see flowering trees on every street. I rarely paint the flowering trees and they seem to be pretty "spring specific" but maybe this year...!!
