Smile in the Snow
This picture was taken early Sunday Morning, the 2nd of March 2003 after several weeks of higher than average snow above Dillon Reservoir. The reservoir is far below the level it should be because of the severe drought in Colorado. It looks like the mountains are rejoicing and enjoying the new thick blanket of snow.
