Spring Snow on the Flatirons

To break up the Tulip photos sequence, here’s one more image from the Chautauqua Park Flatirons shoot from a couple of weekends ago, again in the snow. The Flatirons are the slabs of Flagstone that appear to be leaning against the mountainside in the picture. The first three are numbered starting with the first Flatiron (tallest in this photo) and moving right to left. This photo was taken near the North edge of Chautauqua Meadow, near Baseline Road. This is also where in early June there will be Spring wildflowers covering a good portion of the meadowy area before you.
