45-50cm of fresh snow on Monday, another 5-10cm on Wednesday, sounded like a good reason to go for a walk in the woods.
Untrod trails, and trod upon trails
The deer had been out of the trails after the first snowfall, They seemed to have worked out a passing spot....???
Looking up......
I seem to have a thing about beech leaves in the winter
Refrozen lightly melted snow
Pileated woodpeckers have been hard at work on this tree
Bull rush cat tails frequently remind me of a humanoid character with a hood over its head and arms wrapped around its chest in the cold
Peeling bark on white birch tree
Then there's that tree with many bracket fungus....
"Twigs" and snow
Snow mounds
Tree branches catching snow
Fallen trees catching snow
Assorted animal tracks
Bluebird nesting box awaiting it summer tenants
Interesting how the snow clings to the maple sap collection lines when warmed slightly by the sun.
It takes a lot to freeze over the nearby Almonte falls
