I thought you might want to walk with me in an area I seldom walk. It is always very windy here, and the open waters make the wind chill you to the bones. But …
…not today! Several degrees below zero, but sunny and no wind. Absolutely still.
There were more than me walking here today…
I met some dogs too, but not many. Summertime this is a very popular area for walkers.As I had anticipated, there were no birds in sight, but I knew where to find them…Just follow the snow covered path… …and you will reach the small pond with warmer waters. Here we find several species of ducks, swans and cormorants.
A very sunny, uplifting day for us all! Thank you for walking with me ♥
These are amazing pictures, I love the snow. Yours look crisp and clean Leya. We haven’t walked on our paths yet. They are still covered with snow. Sidewalks near our house are impassable too. Nothing is still clean and fresh like yours, though.
thanks, Marsha – hopefully you can go out soon. In the cities here it is not all white, but pretty much because it is so cold that the salt will not bite.
It is much colder there, I’m sure. I went out with just a jeans coat on today.
Ah, minus 14 here.
Yikes! That’s awful!!! We used to get days like that in Indiana and in Colorado. In Colorado the wind would blow across the plains or the Rocky Mountains and create temperatures of -40 with the wind chill factor figured in. You’d better come here to Prescott and get warm, Leya. 🙂
Thanks, Tish…I have. First time in 10 years or something that it snows – and stays. It rained away after some days, but came back. And now we will keep it for the whole week. We have 12 – too. Good for the ticks and the Spanish killer snails.
Thanks for sharing your ‘walk’ with me! Here, though little water, the ‘wind chill’ factor is often A FACTOR, on how long one can stand to enjoy the great outdoors – – the blessing of a ‘totally still’ day, with the sun shining – even if it’s still ‘cold’? Feels like a heat wave! 😀
I did walk with you just now . . . shall quietly return with a few friends who would also appreciate . . . don’t worry: we won’t disturb the birds . . .

That sounds a good idea!

I am packed…
Excellent! 🙂
Beautiful winter photos!
Thank you, John – I am very much enjoying real winter this year.
So: you got some snow, A-C. What very lovely images.

Definitely good if cuts down on ticks and killer snails.
It must hang in there with cold for the rest of the week.

😀 Glad you enjoyed it – in this sunny and ”totally still” day. Very unusual here as well!
Truly glorious!
Not often we get these sunny, crisp days!
I enjoyed that walk. What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for my Virtual Walk in such stunning scenery, A C!
Thank you, Sue! This was a lucky day – no wind.
Good!
I’m always happy to go walking with you, Ann-Christine. Could you just hang on a minute while I get my woolly hat and some boots?
…and mittens! Of course I will wait for you!
Thanks! On my way …. after lockdown 😦
🙂 After lockdown…
That really looks like a beautiful walking area. Fortunately the weather was fine 🙂
Very nice pictures !
Thank you so much – no wind means everything in this area!
Thank you for the lovely refreshing walk. Have a lovely day.
Thank you for joining me!
How often do you get lovely blue sky days like that in winter? Our skies are usually light-grey to dark-grey in winter!
This was the only one. We went to two beautiful hiking spoets just to savour it all! Grey now again…
Winter paradise!
Yes – I am grateful! Last year we did not have any winter at all.
It looks, our winter came to you this year. Good to know, it is not lost at all. Enjoy 🙂❄️⛄️
Thank you!
I’m all decked out and ready to face the chill. Love the walk.

Such pretty scenery. I love seeing snow!
Glad to provide some for you! It has rained a lot here for a couple of days, but then, colder and snow again.
Thank you for the lovely walk, this is somewhere I would enjoy walking.
When circumstances change…I hope we will walk together some day, Jude.
Thanks for showing the lovely snow scenes.
Thank you for coming along, Sherry!
I lovely walk thanks A-C 🙂 I am glad you knew the birds secret spot
Thanks, Brian – yes, I do know it. Only, this time I had to ”dig” through snowy branches.
I did walk with you just now . . . shall quietly return with a few friends who would also appreciate . . . don’t worry: we won’t disturb the birds . . .
I am sure you will be quiet as a mouse…sneaking through the snowy path…
Thank you for taking me along with you on this beautiful walk!
Happy to have you, Anne!
