Beautiful Winter Day!!

We have not seen much of the sun here since Monday.  I do know, yesterday morning there was a very pretty sunrise,but I really have lost track of how many snowstorms we have had,and it has been snowing  all day today.  I'm guessing about 10 inches so far!!

I myself think it's beautiful ,but I don't have to get out when it is storming!!

So on Monday I had decided I was going to take a walk in the back fields and woods on my snowshoes before the storm on Tuesday .

When I realised how late it was getting (2:30) I almost decided not to go, but got myself moving and was heading for the woods within 15 minutes!! 

Once I had gotten into the woods

I was surprised to see how much snow was still on the trees

 from the previous storm!!

I love the streaks of sunlight  through the trees !!

Shining on the towering trees above me!!

I kept moving on in, then found that it was getting darker

  so started heading

 back out toward the fields...(at least I hoped I was headed that way)!!

"I need a compass!!"

 and I was, because here not far from the fields was a tree,

that at one time was used for a fencing post!!

The tree has grown around the wire!!

At the edge of the field the the sun was low and casting shadows

off the weeds and grasses there!!

Also some old farm equipment had been cast aside, and now was

starting to have vines and trees grow through them!!

 The snow that had blown up across the field to this  higher peak

 in previous storms, and had left this  crevice in the drift where I stood

 on the lower back side!!

I really liked how the blue of the sky met the white snow!!

Snow mounds at the bottom of the

 small trees and stubble with the last of the days sun shining through!!

I couldn't believe that these Hackmatack tree cones , which are

not as big as the end of your thumb, didn't blow away

...but instead made little drifts of snow!! : }

Back at home the almost full ""Wolf Moon"" was already

high in the sky!!

Of course opposite was the sunset!!
