Sawmill Ponds Frost Boulder

After a recent light snowfall, I woke up to a wonderland of a thick layer of frost coating virtually everything in sight.  I grabbed my camera and headed out to Sawmill Ponds in Boulder.  I was not disappointed.  This natural area features large fields of natural grasses and thistles that make for amazing photos when covered in white.  I hiked around the trails looking for suitable subjects.  The thistles in particular made good subjects as the spikes of the seed heads contrasted well with the ice crystals coating them.  I also found some frozen ponds that made for good photos with the Flatirons in the distance.  I am not a big winter fan but I really enjoyed my morning out in the frost.  Sawmill Ponds is located just west of 75th Ave and just north of Valmont in east Boulder.  I can;t wait to go back when the ice melts in the spring.
