Here is a snowy walk for this #wednesdaywalk by
It is sometimes tough to get motivated to go out walking in the middle of winter around here. But if you bring a camera along to take shots of the snow it is worth it. The minimalism of the landscape can spark some creative photo compositions.
You can also see all sorts of signs of life. I suspect these tiny shallow tracks might be from a bird.
Here are some deer tracks mixed with some rabbit tracks on a frozen lake.
And a human track. The snow is only around 6 inches deep in the unwalked areas. Once this lake thaws out there will be a chorus of spring peeper frogs making a loud noise. For now they are frozen solid underneath my feet.
These dead trees growing out of the lake break up the white surface nicely.
The day was fairly overcast but enough sun was out to cast some shadows. If only there was a large hawk posing on this dead tree, it would have made a perfect photo.
The wind made things a bit too cold for the walk but we had to endure for the photography and exercise. Here is a cat tail getting buffeted by the wind losing seeds along the way.
This is definitely the way to speed along the pathway. Cross country skiing is quite easy here as the landscape is flat and other skiers have made smooth grooves to follow.
There are a few horses around this preserve as well that people take walking in the snow. This one was looking at me wondering if I was going to take it out on a walk.
As we were leaving the preserve someone brought their huskies to go dog sledding.
They were so excited to go sledding and were jumping around barking getting tangled in their reigns. Their owners were having a trouble getting them started so I didn't get a chance to see if the sledding worked or not lol. I suspect they might need a couple more huskies to be able to pull two people on the sled, but you never know maybe they were hyperactive and strong enough to do it.
That's all for now, thanks for joining me on this #wednesdaywalk :-)
