Mist rising from the creek during dark, cold nights, builds up the on snow at the surface. Beautiful, shaggy edges are formed.

First Ski
Finally, I was able to get out for my first cross country ski of the season! I could not have ordered up a more perfect day: clear sky, bright sun, -7 C air, a fresh, fluffy dusting of snow on the well-groomed trail. The route which normally would take about 45 minutes took 2 hours! Every few strides I would have to stop, take in the magical surroundings and capture some of the scene with my camera. Lindor, my faithful chocolate lab/ski partner patiently gnawed on a piece of tree or darted in and out of the bush during the delays. It was absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful.

Fresh stuff
A light dusting of snow fell overnight. The flakes were big and fluffy. It amazes me how the flakes hold on to each other. Don’t you find fascinating the triangles formed on the windows of my vehicle?

Winter beauty returns
Sunshine, mild temperature and fresh snow. I love it!
Fold in snow
It is unfortunate the English language is not like other more expressive tongues. I wish we had words to describe snow like the Inuit do with descriptive terms.
Snow flakes/crystals have totally different properties depending on temperature and humidity. When the air is just around the freezing point, snow is rather sticky.
The warmer my vehicle got, the slipperier it got.
