Yesterday afternoon we took a walk out back, down the hill, across the field and onto the banks of the Otter Creek. It was a beautiful day. In the high 20's, lightly snowing and very quiet. Here is a glimpse –
Snake Mountain from out front. An interesting cloud encircling the summit.
The Zen bench covered with snow, with an all-too-familiar background.
The snow-laden path to the field below.
I don't know, just an interesting log caught between two trees.
The dried flower heads of the weeds were holding large puffs of snow.
Nick perched on an old well on the banks of Otter Creek.
Looking north at the still-open creek.
And back up the hill on the now foot-trodden path to home.
I can't say that winter is my favorite season, but days like this keep me going until that first little spring flower lifts it's sleepy head welcoming warmer weather.
The beauty of the seasons, makes your heart sing, delights the senses. I love them all, but winter is one of my top four picks.Actually winter beats out summer!Your walk sounds lovely.And I bet you went home and cooked up a wonderfully healthy homecooked meal!Nick, you are a lucky guy.
