snowstorms, sunburn, & snakes

this has been the craziest april. two weeks ago we were driving through this...

and this past weekend was so nice that i ended up with a sunburn! sunday's weather could not have been more gorgeous, and we decided to take advantage of it and get out for a nature hike. we saw many beautiful spring wildflowers, as well as three different garter snakes, one of which we were able to catch as you can see below. i am not a fan of most little critters such as these, but this guy didn't bother me... though i did not volunteer for a turn holding him!
