Enjoying the Snow!
Well, we can't get away from winter here, so you might as well enjoy it. I've been out and about skiing and snowshoeing a few times, making the best of winter.
I joined a small group of Bruce Trail enthusiasts on the easier Kolapore trails east of here last week . These trails are ungroomed, so we had to make the trail ourselves.
Even the roads I drove to get there were pretty snowy.
On a couple of days the dog and I have been through the neighbour's woods, even with a bit of blue sky appearing.
And today I drovwe down the road to Sideroad 10, an unused road allowance that you can easily walk in. This is a favourite walk, but I haven't been there for a couple of years.
It's got some huge beautiful Sugar Maples growing in the fencerow.
Looking under a branch of it, I realized how fast these White Pines had grown. It seems like only 3 or 4 years ago they were seedlings - probably more like 10 years ago!
I got all the way in to see Wodehouse Creek, where the water level looked like a spring flood. And it's slowly freezing over. That's what our winter is like at the moment.

I'm jealous, we had a bit of snow, but it melted a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteI love the views but I'm fine with no snow.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
The beauty of the snow is wonderful. Breaking trail is always a tough job. We take turns when it's that deep! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful winter scenes!
ReplyDeleteLove, love the first shot! It reminds me of the days I used to cross country ski when I lived back east.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely place to go skiing!

ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
What wonderful landscapes in all of your photos, yes, enjoy the cold, down here, way too hot, 30C for several days on end, 99% humidity too. Cool rain last night was so welcome.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you enjoying your snow. As long as you live in it, you might as well enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteHello, the cross country skiing must be a great workout. Your snowy world looks beautiful! Lovely images. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'm even more jealous than Gail, seeing all this beauty and wishing I were there to escape our unremitting 40+C Temps. Ten minutes in your fairytale landscape would be worth days of air-conditioning. Please enjoy it for mere mortals like me.
ReplyDeleteThat snow is glorious!

Just a quick note, I finally got blogger to cooperate and added you to my list. I love the snow images Mike. We are getting some of that weather tomorrow here in Tennessee. Stay warm. Carol
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the lovely snow. Do not see any of that in my part of Texas.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the snow laden trees in the woods and the big old sugar maples. That would be hard going breaking trails in the woods with skis but good exercise!
ReplyDeleteYour heavy snow is so pretty! :)
