Not only do we LOVE living in Colorado, I just absolutely love where in Colorado we live. For those of you who haven't visited us (I encourage you to do so), we live in what most Denver-metro people call "the middle of nowhere," in a small community called Roxborough. It's technically part of Littleton, but it is about 10 minutes south. It's sandwiched right between two beautiful state parks-- Roxborough and Chatfield. It's nestled along the Platte River amongst the foothills, quarry, and near red-rock formations locally called Arrowheads. It's basically one of the most beautiful settings I could think to live! While we do have a 10 minute drive to reach all the restaurants and shops of Littleton and Highlands Ranch, we only have to step outside our front door and we have access to 100 of miles of trails. With 300+ days of sunshine each year, we have a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. [Wow, I sound like a rep from CO tourism!].
On Thursday evening, we recieved a few inches of snow that on Friday morning luckily had not melted yet. With the beautiful blue skies welcoming in the day, Dave took the camera with him on his way into work and snapped a few photos. The picture above is taken from the road we live off of looking down the Platte River with the foothills in the distance. I'm glad he did that as by early afternoon, the snow was all gone! We've been trying to gather a picture from this spot of each season similar to what we did with the Arrowheads. Below you can see the picture we took of the Platte in the fall. Now we just need to get a nice spring and summer picture.
