Along with my "Old Things" post, I thought I'd add in some pics celebrating our ongoing spell of frigid weather. K-30 and 55-300 WR, or the Q and 01 lens.

Unbroken snow


No creek crossings today


Frozen fern fronds


I think this is Dogwood, but it could also be Blackhaw


The oddest things catch my eye sometimes


Brrrr!!


Typical canyon scene


Small Cascade


It looks a lot nicer when the water is emerald green


Poor thing


Unhappy Magnolia


Joe-Pye Weed is an attractive butterfly magnet in late Summer and early Autumn


Just because it was there


This last one is just for nostalgia. Not far around the bend in the distance, there is a tiny tributary that comes out of a steep ravine to the right. Follow that 3/4 mile, and you end up on my family homestead. I spent many happy days as a youth roaming these woods.

Thanks Susan and Dave. No whiskey for me, Kerrowdown, just a big steaming mug of tea with honey.
