It was still brutal outside today, but I had to do something with more motion in it by mid-afternoon. I've written a lot yesterday and today, but I get stiff and antsy from too much sitting.
So... I headed out on the snowshoes, and managed to complete one medium loop. The view across the field looks like something from Dr. Zhivago.
I took this one from the shelter of the pines, which frames it and provides some perspective. However, between the band of trees on the left (in the cemetery) and the far band that has a pointed top like a hill, there is a 5-lane highway. You can't tell that at all!
Someone was out hunting for a snack. It's a lousy picture, but I was quite pleased to see the red-tail hawk out, and to catch him at all.
Do I look cold? I actually was, a little bit.

Brrrr...you really look cold and I know you were! I could only stay out for 30 minutes but I don't have one of those cute face warmers like yours!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures really do look beautiful. I think the one with the hawk is actually pretty good. It shows how cold and snowy it looks. This is the coldest winter ever in my lifetime so far.
ReplyDeleteJust like here, only it's still colder here. I get antsy too, just have to get out and move at least a little every day.
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing red tails around here lately, but never close enough to capture an image as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteYes, you do look cold. We should soon return to more seasonable weather. Okay by me.
It is pretty, can't deny that but boy I sure hate these cold temps. We had a heat wave today, it was up to 23
ReplyDeleteWow, it's cold. At least it broke zero here and you can actually GO outside again. It was so cold here on Monday, I cried when I took my gloves off to get into the office.
ReplyDeleteBe careful, Sharkey...but I don't think I have to tell you, do I?
:)
Loretta- you need one- as ugly as they are they make a big difference at these temps
ReplyDeleteRatty- I like the hawk one too- fuzzy because of the snow
Stew- matching weather, matching ants
Chuck- I should have worn another layer on top, but I lived
Ann- we got up to 12 and it felt good
Lin- The cold gets awful in Chicago. ugh
I'm glad that although it was very cold here, it only dipped in the negatives during the night/early morning. And I'm also glad that we id not get much snow accumulations.
