Some days, the hassle of carrying a DSLR isn't worth it. Flat light, etc mean you aren't going to get excellent pictures but you can tell a story.

Tess didn't want me to come on the walk, she says I always want to go a different way. I had to promise to let her make all the decisions about which way to go. So I let her point the way...



Trudging through the snow



Deeper into the woods...



Some down trees,



A bear den, he came out for a little walk around a few days ago and left some tracks in the snow.



"Beach tree corner" is the turn off of the old school road that leads to our place. Dreamer is checking to make sure I'm not going by and continuing the walk on the other side of the corner.

OK, OK, I know, you're all saying, the pictures are nice but, it's not enough, so without further adieu ... click on the picture to see the video.

It's been many a year since I've walked in a snowy woods - brings back some memories. A nice story, for sure.

Nice snow scenes Norm.It's getting close to Feb. and we've had less than 5" of snow all season.--charliezap

Sailor, if you haven't seen snow for a while....you should come north for a winter. It's only fair. All those Canadians go south for the winter. Think of all those empty homes waiting fro someone to keep them company for a few weeks.

It's all melting today Charlie, but we had 18 inches on the ground. Now it's starting to look like a down south kind of winter. Foggy and wet. We hate that.

Ya Dave the dogs are like "Do you not see me pointing at this ball? There is a ball here, and nobody is throwing it for us. Why are you fussing around with birch bark when there's a ball here? Maybe if I jump on this ball they'll notice it. You humans seriously need to get your priorities in order."

They took that huge deflated basketball for most of the walk. When Kenzie got tired of it, Tripper picked it up. They must get tired carrying something like that in their mouths. But they have to have it. They used to have a football that was a lot smaller, but it's lost in the woods. They'll find it some day.
