So nice walking in the woods today. With the fresh coat of snow every day, all looks so clean and pristine. We even had a bit of sun!

Two snowmen stood as sentinels flanking a trail at Guppy Farm. I don't know who created them.

Yesterday we went walking at the O'loughlin property and saw this little nest hanging from a branch. Any ideas of what species built this? It was small, no larger than an orange.

Cold. but beautiful today snowshoeing.

So many people are using the trail that it is a great path just to walk on wether at the Bob Syke's trail or the O'Loughlin property. We took two dogs there just as the moon was coming up about 4:30 today.

The snow becomes sculptural when deep. Looking from the bridge on the Syke's trail.

The woods were incredibly beautiful...Mother Nature surely has been generous with snow. Heard a few birds, at the O'Loughlin property but saw no other evidence of animals.

Chipmunk prints? Very tiny.

Not easy walking today as the snow had hardened up considerably after the warm temperature and rain of yesterday followed by freezing temperatures last night. The ground was quite muddy in the areas free of snow. Happy New Year to all!
