A vibrant colorful town Crested Butte, Colorado


It's been a bright & beautiful summer in Crested Butte, Colorado
and although the wildflowers are slight this year due to light snowfall last winter
and dry conditions in the spring this high altitude mountain town is just bursting with
fresh flowers everywhere you look. Huge hanging baskets, flower planters and gardens are 
filled with a gorgeous collection of flowering plants.

It is a delightful feast for the soul and senses whether you are out for a stroll downtown, 
 sitting outside on a park bench watching the sights of a small town, just running errands 
or enjoying a drink or meal at one of many outdoor restaurants. The brilliant blossoms  
 add a vibrant ambiance and beauty to this charming ski town.

Summertime has become our busiest season and our streets and sidewalks are filled with 
visitors, many who have been returning each year for many years to enjoy the cool mountain 
air, great food, boutique shopping, hiking, biking, music and art available in the Gunnison Valley. 

I hope you enjoy a visit through our town in these photo's. 
Wishing you a basketful of colorful days.

Live happy,
~Nancy

Snow-capped in Crested Butte



 
As Spring is approaching and the snow is starting to melt on these warm 40 degree afternoons I thought I'd share some of the sights from this winter.  One of my favorite  activities besides designing jewelry and writing is photography and I am rarely without my camera. This winter has provided many beautiful scenes to capture on my way to and from the mountain or town, while skiing, snowshoeing and on my way to the post office to pick up our mail as there is no mail delivery in this little mountain town. It's always a bit like grand central station to go stand in line and visit with many friends and neighbors.  I hope you enjoy looking at these snow days and experience a bit of wintertime in Crested Butte, Colorado.
Thanks for visiting! Cheers!
