I was traveling through Silverton to find a frozen waterfall when I looked over and saw this beautiful scene off the side of the road.  This shot encapsulated the transition of winter into spring wonderfully.  As the temperatures start to rise toward the spring, the snow thaws, and the rivers begin to run wild with the additional water.  The serenity of this scene was breathtaking:  the faint trickle of water flowing down the stream, the wind gently blowing through the trees, and clouds dancing in the background all played in harmony for a wonderful Colorado winter moment.
