I hadn’t been outside with my camera in a long time. I debated where I should hike, thinking about many alternatives. In the end, I just took a nice winter walk along country roads.
Even here, there are choices.
I opted for plowed, yet freshly dusted with sparkly powder.
At the bottom of that hill is a marshy beaver pond. The dogs were braver than the people when it came to exploring:
I think a muskrat must have crossed the dam here at my feet…
Today I was intrigued by shadows in the snow… I could have taken hundreds more like these:
Sometimes a “hike” doesn’t have to be a hike at all… It can just be a stroll down country roads…

So glad that you got out and enjoyed the winter air!
Isn’t it just wonderful what all you can see, just taking a long walk on a country road!
What touches me is how you see such important things in small places. It encourages me to do the same. Thank you.
I love the cattail picture! I have great memories of those growing up in SD.
Yikes !! That brings back some hair raising memories. Last time I was on a road signed ‘No Winter Maintenance’, I almost got stranded about 4 miles from nowhere.
For some reason, my Chevy Blazer went electrically berserk and would not go into 4WD. By the grace of God, I managed to spin my way out. But, it was a REAL close call. I haven’t been too adventurous since.
Oh – and the barn/silo photo is my favorite. Barns are cool !!
Great shots! I love the one of the farm! So tell me, what have you concluded about photographing the snow? +1 f-stop??
