Cold ( 7 degrees) and gray but no wind. Kelley had an appointment with her vet in Newport and when she does we hike this trail. We also hike it from the Dover-Foxcroft end but have never done the whole 26 miles.
A snowmobile had preceded us and that made for pretty good footing. Kelley was very excited ,as she usually is on a trail we haven't done recently- we hadn't been here since her last appointment in July.
The sun is trying to come out
More plants in the snow
Waiting for me
And some cable
Not a bad hike in spite of the cold - once I got warmed up it wasn't bad and having no wind helped - Kelley never minds the cold and was enthusiastic throughout even though there was not liquid water. The sun never did make it out. 3 hours
It's a world of white in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - white and cold - at 11:00 am we are up to minus 6
DeleteI'm like you--I don't mind the cold. We certainly have great outerwear options nowadays--polartec, etc. But the wind--that is another story and we've had nothing but wind this past week.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy the "botanical" photos-keep em coming! Nature sure is beautiful!
Enjoy the day
Thanks for commenting Sue- it was a treat to not have wind.
DeleteI find snow photos quite lovely and your Kellie certainly adds to the beauty! Your photos looks awesome in full size, you might think about making them a bit larger for more interest.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty - Blogger resizes them - not me. Clicking on them makes them larger. An alternative might be posting them from Flickr ( as I do the panos ) but that's more work. Will maybe do an experiment
