A Later and Warmer Walk

After grocery shopping this morning and then having an infuriating time with my tablet that took forever to rectify, we did not get out for our morning walk. Maybe we will do that later, but for now, I will just post a few pics from yesterday, when we also went out in the afternoon.

It was quite wonderful out there with the temperatures up to -4C/25F and with sunshine too. What more could a lowly Canadian ask for, except maybe to be shown a modicum of respect from . . .  oh never mind.

I took a photo a little ice formation looking down from the trail bridge. It's nothing special, but I thought that I would share it regardless.

Then, while Sue was photographing things elsewhere form the bridge, I saw my shadow on the vegetation. I'd never seen that before, but we usually walk in the morning. 


If you look at the little bridge in the above photo, that's where we are going next — our usual route.

There we saw out shadow again, but on the rocks and snow this time. We put our heads together. Aren't we the sweetest couple? ๐Ÿ˜‰


Whilst on the little bridge, three large snow-removal trucks went by. I captured a live photo (aka short video) of one of them.


I am not sure where they dump all of the snow. I used to think that they would take it to the river, but someone pointed out that the snow would be salty, so they probably wouldn't do that. There is one dump site near us, and I will try to remember to grab a snap sometime, but there must be other dump sites too.

  9. I love the way you captured those moments on your walk. The shadows and ice formations make the scene feel peaceful and unique.

  10. Very nice shadow scenes. I admit to having trouble with the way long shots over the dam kind of bleed the further details as if they're right at the dam, and since I've never seen the drop off, it looks like the water just stops, then there's something else happening, but not logical. I didn't explain that very well, but it has to do with how long focus shots bring everything into the same focus, and only if you've seen the actual thing, do you know that one is closer than the other.

  11. I never thought about where they would be dumping the snow. Something to think about. Loved the pictures.

  13. It has been a glorious few days. YD was out on Sunday and cooked us a marvelous meal. But her dog got sulky about All That Snow and lay down and refused to hike. I find this hilarious, but am not telling the dog that.

  14. I love the shadow pic. That is curious about where the snow is dumped. I never thought of that. The river would make sense if it weren't for the snow. A water treatment plant, maybe?

  15. All of our towns have dump sites just outside of town the piles have been pretty huge this year.
    I love your shadow floating in the brush! Very eerie and cool. Also the shot of the two lovebirds!

    I'm glad it warmed up a bit so you can get out more comfortably!

  16. I too sometimes miss my morning walk in the winter because it's cold for us in the '60s, and dark. We also have have rainy periods in the winter time. I used to feel bad for the visitors when it rained on their vacations. But now I understand that even a rain is summery and delightful in short sleeves compared to where they've come from. Wishing you or all the best as always of Aloha
