Surprise Spring Snow – May 2013 Dome of the Month
Congratulations to Cate Graber on winning the Dome of the Month contest for May 2013. This fun pair of photos of her 26′ Growing Dome greenhouse in Trinidad, Colorado shows how quickly the weather can change in the Rocky Mountains. Her peach tree had just decided to start blooming above 6,400 feet. Then Mother Nature had a different plan. Sunny and dry one day and blizzard and cold the next…literally. All her plants tucked safely inside the greenhouse kept growing blissfully along.
Cate and her husband John sure have a knack for timing photos of nature. Check out this photo they won with in September 2012: September 2012 Dome of the Month
