A Sunny Snowy Countryside Walk (1)


On Sunday, while visiting our Dad, my brother and I went out for a dog-and-camera walk in the afternoon. We were lucky with the weather: Sun shining from a clear blue sky, over vast fields of untouched snow. The snow stays so much cleaner in the countryside than in town!


Usually, it is my brother with the dog, and I with the camera.


It is an even competition who makes more stops:
the dog or the camera.


On rare occasions, the dog and the camera trade places.


The goal for our walk was a nature reserve area at an old mill.


The ice formations at the mill-dam waterfall were amazing.




"Ice pancakes" was my brother's name for these.

In another post, I will show some more photos from the little island behind the mill, and the other arm of the river - which turned out to have its own impressive set of ice-art.

I will also be showing photos from this walk at my Picture Book blog this week (starting today).

PS 1/ Meanwhile, outside my windows, the sky is all grey and it's snowing again...

An absolutely delightful posting, Monica. I really enjoyed the clear, crisp walk.

Looks beautiful... but beyond brisk.

(We had 75 degrees F today. Sorry.)

You must have been happy that you took that walk in the sun, before it snowed again! Those ice formations look like huge blobs of whipped cream (sorry I have no other description:) ).
