The girls and I enjoyed a slow walk this week. It was slow because there were so many wildflowers and so many birdsongs to listen to. I think Sky appreciated the slowness of the walk. Sometimes, she laid down by my side when I stopped to make a photo or listen to the birds.

Some of the birds we heard (most were not seen) included: Lazuli Bunting, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Warbling and Cassin’s Vireos, Townsend’s Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Nashville Warbler, Downy Woodpecker, Purple Finch, Song Sparrow, Mountain Chickadee, Pine Siskin, and many others. I should have kept a list.

Yesterday was our sixth wedding anniversary! To celebrate, we hiked to our wedding spot and then on to Aspen Lake. It was a gloriously warm morning – we are finally getting nice weather. The wildflowers are at the peak of their bloom. Yes, it really was that vibrant. Bird song filled the air.
