I started walking again, by myself and not for the dogs, around the lake nearby.  The space itself invigorates.

 This is one of the irrigation ditches that run into Boulder County from the mountains.  Pure snowmelt.   The next day after I took this picture, the ditch was dry and smelled like bogs that I've known in the deep South.

I'm so glad that Spring is in full bloom.  The last snow has come and gone and we are ahead of ourselves in average precipitation.
