Barb at Handbook of Nature Study is hosting Winter Weds! So I thought we'd give it a try since I've wated to jump into her nature activities for some time now.

This week was a snow activity, but seeing that we here in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado are not getting much in the way of snow, but rather 60 degree weather; we decided to go back to week one and look for colors in winter!

So we used our weekly nature to do so.....

This grass has turned pink......perhaps something in the soil b/c there were other things that were pink as well.

A dried milk weed plant

A lake that is partially frozen

A dead fish from the lake

The scales were neat, they are individually round

A little green amongst the dead brown brush

I think this is wild flower is beautfiul, even in its dried winter state ~ a yellowish color

Bird's Nest, we saw quite a few

A pink rock

Tall reddish bushes

Orangish-red....I think the same wildflower

There were numerous prairie dog holes

~ and of course some came out to see us

The ending to our walk ~  someone chose to break into my van and my freinds van -- and stole her purse.  We drove to this location...and we were greeted with broken glass on our return. Bummer, but it was a beautiful day out!
