Sunny Brisk Days

The weekend was sunny but brisk.
Minnehaha & Hiawatha looked concerned about the conditions of the park.


At Dodge Nature center I saw many birds, some deer and almost no people.

Happy New Year 2010

Over the Holiday weeks snow, then rain, then snow and finally deep freeze.
Last week there was a good day for snowshoeing.



One day this week I found out that there was over and hour and a half wait to get my oil changed.
I decided to use the time to explore a suburban park and hiking path.
Beautiful but a little disconcerting to run into gas pipes and high power lines.
I never knew they make a noise.
I chose to ignore them and to enjoy the falling snow.










Below is a street called "Magestic Lane". Kind of sad.....


On a walk to Minnehaha park today I could only take a few photos.
Since it was below zero my hands got too cold to take any more than that.
But still a very special place.
