Nature, Hikes & Woods Walks

Winter’s Shadow

When I went to bed it was spring. Half-way through my sleep I woke to a roaring wind and the sound of sleet hitting on the sky-lights over the bed.  Winter’s shadow had returned not quite ready to go peacefully. Out of respect we will let you have one more day.

Spring: when every day is a miracle

What I love most about spring is that every day is a miracle.  Another flower opens, the chives visibly grow a 1/2 an inch or more a day, another bird stops in at the feeders as they migrate to their summer homes. Yesterday the buds finally popped on my daffodils that live in the warm…

Spring River Haiku

River roars with snow, carrying winter to sea. Green warmth will soon spread.

Freezing rain creates sparkly mountaintop wonderland

Magical.  Ice palace.  Breath taking winter wonderland. I don’t think my words or photos can quite capture the sparkly beauty we walked through on our hike yesterday morning.  We set out early.  We had two snow storms earlier in the week and then it rained heavily on Friday evening.  Temps were supposed to hit the…

Frozen Tide

And in the darkness, there is light. In the cold, there is warmth. In the frozen landscape there is simple beauty. And when we walk off the path, treasures await. These were shot during our walk this past weekend at the Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Newington, NH.  The sun was sitting low in…

Appreciating the fleeting winter sun

Sunlight is so precious this time of year.  Many days have been overcast and snowing.  On sunny days our yard is still in shadow much of the day.  The sun does not rise high enough in the sky to climb above the tall pine trees across the street.  As it swings around toward the west…

Baby it is COLD outside!

Baby it is cold outside!  O degrees F with a light wind.  It has been snowy and very cold here for the past day and a half.  Yesterday it warmed up to a whopping 5 degrees according to the thermometer in my car.  We skipped our walk yesterday but this morning when I woke at…

Woods walk before the snow storm

We took our old girl, Rose out for a woods walk yesterday morning before last night’s storm which brought 12 inches of snow.  Rosie will be 14 years old on Dec 27th and can no longer take walks through the deep snow so won’t get many chances to get out in the woods for the…
