It has been snowing quite regularly in central Colorado, and on Monday morning, I visited a few particular spots to take pictures of the snowy scenery. The first stop was along Chaffee County Road 301 near the Fisherman's Bridge river access area. The sunlight and blue skies contrasted beautifully with the snow! The bottom photo shows the Buffalo Peaks standing tall way out there to the north.
	Many of the road signs had noticeable ice on them. It was in the 10's at about 8 a.m. when I wandered about.
	Two photos of the Arkansas River. That was either fog or steam coming up from the river in the top photo. Mt. Princeton (alt. 14,198 feet) is the towering mountain in the bottom photo.

I then traveled north of town to a new subdivision known as "Buffalo Hills," located right off of Highway 24.
Two more snowy scenes. Here are my other snow pictorials in this area: Snowfall Three Days Earlier Cottonwood Pass #1 Cottonwood Pass #2 Cottonwood Pass #3 Collegiate Peaks Overlook Southern Chaffee County Leadville Independence Pass Snowshoeing
This might be my all-time favorite snow photo! This subdivision is situated on a hills with grand views of the Collegiate Peaks to the west. This was the view looking out towards Mt. Princeton. (Quite a few parcels of this area are for sale.) I also threw in this photo of icicles coming down for a snow-covered pinion.
TOP: Looking to the west. Those slides down the mountain are not ski slopes; They are avalanches shoots that have carved their path down the mountain over time. BOTTOM: The larger view. Mt. Yale's summit might be sticking its head out there to the left. ;)

	The adventure continued with me next visiting McPhelemy Park near the center of town in Buena Vista.
	A snowy tree.
	Three photos of a lake that is also Cottonwood Creek, the main water tributary that starts way up at the Continental Divide at Mineral Basin, Cottonwood Pass and the North Cottonwood Creek area respectively.
	Snow! :)
	Two snow pictures not too far away from the park. TOP: The easterly view of the Buena Vista traffic light with Midland Hill behind. BOTTOM: Snow and icicles hanging down from the Buena Vista Library.

	Clouds began to roll in at about 9:30 a.m. with more snowfall later that day. I desired to continue visiting various spots but with the snowy and icy road conditions, I visited one more spot - the historic Maxwell Schoolhouse on Rodeo Road (Chaffee County Road 321). Does that look like a snowy wintery scene or what?! :)
	The top photo is the westerly view of Chaffee County Road 326, a dirt road that leads to some ranches way out there. It was striking to see the road not plowed at all! Of course, I had to include a photo of myself happily posing in the snow. :)
