To go along with the photos from last week's snow-walk, here are a couple from today's, this time highlighting my walking buddy, Julie (and Cooper, of course... he's such a ham!). It didn't look like all that exceptional a day when we headed off (shortly after noon), but before long Julie and I were walking in yet another winter wonderland. The snow just continued to stream down, and the woods looked even more beautiful than last time. Here she's snuggled up to Cooper while he stares down an imaginary squirrel off to the side.
Our second shot shows off how low the overhead clearance was at times, as the branches were bent over with the weight of lots of snow. There were spots where we had to go along on our hands and knees, which just added to the adventure. I don't think the photos quite capture just how incredible the transformation of the woods has been over the past 9 days, but at least it provides a sense of it. While I haven't much enjoyed driving on the days that we've been socked in, the walks have more than made up for it. I wish Vicki were feeling well enough to join us, but she's still on the mend. Maybe later in the winter she'll get to see it all firsthand.
