I took the shortcut through the woods today.
It was cold and there was a layer of ice underneath every inch of snow. I had my cleat-soled overboots on, knowing that the way would be slippery. I went out walking because I could and it's been too dang long since I took a walk outdoors. This winter has been a doozy.
Last night, I noted that the weather forecast for the rest of the week would not be good for a trek outdoors. Today, it may have been in the single digits for temperature, but there was no wind. That's a first for quite a while. The winds have been terrible this season. So, I figured I could handle the cold, and I did. I still haven't found a good pair of gloves that keep my hands warm.
Taking this short cut has me on a very narrow path that borders a drainage ditch. If I fell, it would be about a four foot drop. With my ice-cleats on, and my trekking poles in hand, I felt confident that I could traverse without a fall. Seeing all the boot-prints of those who passed before me also was a good sign. I made it, and was soon back in my warm car.
It was a good day for a walk.
Yesterday morning we woke up to about 6 inches of snow...it was beautiful...everything was coated...every little branch...each square of the page wire fencing...everything blanketed in pure white snow. I went outside just before 6:00 and it was so still and quiet...not a hint of wind. It didn't last long though and by 10:30 most of the snow had fallen off all the fencing and trees.
Enjoy your weekend!

This will be the last of the series of sunsets from December 2007. I bet you're already getting tired of them. I know I am. I tried something different in this one by adding the crows in post to fill the frame.

As January draws to a close and winter returns, the flat-coated retrievers must resort to grazing on dry grasses for sustenance.

Along the coast in Barrington RI after the storm hit. I'm a huge fan of the colors displayed at this time of year after snow hits.
Yesterday (Monday) was a beautiful clear crisp winter's day; lovely light for taking photographs. Nothing but wind and rain today though.
