The hiking trails in the Colorado mountains are finally clear from a snowy winter. Last Sunday we hiked the Butler Gulch Trail. We have hiked this trail two years ago, we decided to hike this again, because of all the beautiful waterfalls and wildflowers.

There were so many wildflowers, it was overwhelming that I couldn’t stop photographing them!

I was excited to get a few close up photos of the little bumble bees collecting nectar!

The views of the mountains were breathtaking. There is still even snow at the tippy tops! It may not be snowing, but the mountains have been getting plenty of rain. On our way back down we got rained and thundered on, so had to turn around early!

Hello! My name is Julie, I am very crafty and I love to quilt! I currently live in Denver, Colorado, but I was born and grew up in Virginia. My sewing journey began in 2009 where I started making handbags and I have participated in several craft shows/markets in Virginia and Colorado.
I began quilting in 2020, and since then quilting has been my main focus. I have made several quilts from modern, improve, lap quilts to mini quilts. In 2023 I became a member of the Denver Metro Quilt Guild. Besides sewing, in my spare time I love to weave, take photos, bake, hike, ski, attend craft/art shows, and spend time with my husband and my dog Lilly. My blog mostly focuses on my creations and inspirations, but once and awhile, I will blog about my trips and travel adventures. My goal is to share and inspire everyone who is reading. Enjoy!
