photoblog image Snowy Hike

Snowy Hike

Tuesday's hike was short for many reasons but first on the list was that it was snowing! I hasn't been snowing long in this photo and it was soon to turn to rain but it was cold and windy.  We were at a wild bird sanctuary that has a couple of ponds, a dam and nice trails. A grey day to be sure.  A few other shots of this outing can be found at An Island Walk.

Stormy Weather- Willie Nelson & Leon Russell  Notice how the music in this song is engineered to waver vetween the speakers.  It surprises me each time I play this.

What I like most about this image are the sparkling drops suspended in the limbs of the tree, and the haze of the snow against the trees.
Mary MacADNski: I didn't notice the drops when I took the photo but it was the first thing I noticed on the computer scree. I was shivering too hard to notice them on site.
Absolutely lovely, Mary! this is the place kind that we would wish to have in our dreams. I like much since it has been left this photo. Congratulations!
Mary MacADNski: I am happy to fulfill your dreams, Jose-Angel. LOL

Me plazco satisfacer sus sueños, Jose-A'ngel
The details are so crisp. The droplets on the twigs.
Beautiful, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Michael. The season of weather has arrived.

This has a mood that reaches right into me, Mary. I am a person who likes the cold so I love what this looks like!
Mary MacADNski: You're looking at photos from the right place because we have one more day of 15 degrees then we're in for some cold.

This is a beautiful shot Mary, Love the rain drops and the feeling of cold it conveys.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Aussie. It was very cold but pretty there.

Great shot. I especially like the seemingly huge water drops on the twigs, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: It was weird. Snow changed to rain, then rain, turned to snow. By the time I got home there was an inch of snow on the deck and an hour later there was none. At the time of the photo it was doing both at once.

Nice, peaceful, a shot like I like them.
Mary MacADNski: Merci, Roland. Peaceful is good. Paisible est bon.
Brrr! It looks cold, but very beautiful. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: It was really cold. We had a pretty quick trip around those ponds.
Hmmm ! A nice winter walk to begin a good day ! Thank you smile
Mary MacADNski: You can come walk with me any time.....

Nice shot .. The cold comes right through my screeen !!!
Mary MacADNski: It was cold, windy, and certainly not a very nice day out there.
The song is perfect for this picture Mary. I could imagine standing on that shelter looking over the lake with this playing in the background.
Mary MacADNski: This link has three versions of the song. I have more in my files too. I love all the old standards.
Very nice winter shot. I can feel the cold
Mary MacADNski: Glad you like the shot but in no way did I want you to feel cold - unless you're a 50 something woman. Then I am happy to make you feel cold. LOL

Mary I love this shot, I would love to have been walking with you on this occasion.smile
Mary MacADNski: I hope you would have been dressed for it. I wasn't. I was dressed for dropping my car off at the garage. My friend suggested the short walk and I almost froze. Brrrr!

Mary this is so good again, those drops of snow/rain on the tree, wow you're ahead with the weather, it only freezes at my place, no snow yet.
Mary MacADNski: It was only snow for a short time then turned to rain. It was 15 degrees the rest of the week but it will be 4 tomorrow and 3 on Sunday. Brrrrr.

Oh yeah, stormy weather and the first snows of winter. Great shot and composition.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Louis. You know I'm jealous that you are nearing summer while we are nearing winter. It has been 15 yesterday and today but is going to be 4 tomorrow and 3 on Sunday.
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful and perfect. A true hymn to solitude, in a good way smile
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Carla. Peaceful it was, as no one else was out in that weather.

The looks so peaceful even in the midst of a snow. Lovely, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: There aren't many tourists about now so that helps in the peacefullness.

Lovely calm atmosphere to this picture. Beautiful
Mary MacADNski: The ducks floating on the water give that effect, I'd say.
