The deep freeze is over for now, or will be shortly, as it still went down to 0F overnight. While temperatures will remain below freezing for the next few days, they are at least not down to 18C/0F. At least the wind was not strong throughout most of the cold snap.
A few days ago, we drove to a different trail. While our trail is a bit protected, we do walk through the open park to accessit. So, we drove to the arena to access that trail. When I describe two trails, they are really part of the same trail but just different sections.
These are all Sue's shots. After numbing my fingers on that video day, I have recently been happy enough to keep my hands in my mitts.
It is a bit wider and straighter than our usual section here.
You can see the river from various spots.
Sue got closer to the section above.
It was calm along the trail, but as we got back to the parking lot, we experienced strong winds that reminded us that we had made the right choice for our walk on that day.
Beautiful frost creations.
ReplyDeleteThey are somewhat unique.
DeleteI love the third picture down. Here there's ice underfoot, keeping me from walking much. But like you, hoping for milder temps soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is the one, plus the next shot for the detail.
DeleteI'm loving all the shots, but like the second one the best. Go Sue!!!!! Sunday morning now and sunny and warming up nicely.
ReplyDeleteI do not disagree.
DeleteWhat funny little tuffs of snow in the last couple! I've never seen that! Thanks for a different view of your water. The snow is so beautiful and I'm glad you're able to walk on it now! Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb. It will getting a bit warmer, but that tends to also mean cloudier.
DeleteIt has been windy here so even during the polar vortex it was quite miserable out there.
ReplyDeleteThose tufts of frost are so beautiful. You have such a nice place to venture out to explore.
ReplyDeleteThose river close ups are amazing. Almost sci-fi! Love shadow pix, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful photos of your walk. I like winter - when I don't have to freeze - when you freeze, it's no fun, no fun at all.
ReplyDeleteToday it was 8 degrees Celsius... the snow is almost gone.
Best wishes to you both.
How wonderful that you walk in that beautiful place together! Best wishes and aloha to you both
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautiful but still looks awfully cold to me!
ReplyDeleteThe cold is one thing but the wind is another element for cold…brrr…
ReplyDeleteI really love the last two shots. They look wonderful
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk! The frost/snow is so unusual looking, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love that first shot of those two hardy shadows!
ReplyDeleteNice little section of the river with clear ice and frost.
