May Snow

On Saturday we were 80 degrees F (27 degrees C) at our house. But here are some photos just taken a few minutes ago in our front yard, to show the crazy weather we get here. Yes, it snows in May!
After lots of sunny, warm weather, it looks like winter again.
These are blossoms on a tree in our yard. Trees must be able to adapt to the wild temperature swings or they don't survive here.
And these cold photos are for Our World Tuesday!

    Beautiful! I know you probably would prefer a 'normal' spring but I would love a decent snowfall any time of year.

    Ah, you do have a crazy, but beautiful world, Al!! And it really did snow, didn't it!! I love the flowers in the snow -- such a contrast! Terrific captures for the day!

    Its the same here. Winter is not over until the end of May, and even then.. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

    Oh my goodness! The photos are just stunning but I feel for those plants and trees! That's quite an adjustment to make.

    Beautiful shots! With those temperatures, I'm guessing the snow didn't stick around for long.

    I've told our CO kids that if I ever moved there, my moods would be even springier than they are anyway a --that changing weather would really take some getting used to. (They love it though!) Beautiful cold pictures!

    The weather is fool! In Italy weather forecast said that next w.e. it will be warm but Monday it will be very cold and rainy.
    Wish you warm days.
