Down the Garden Path

I found this garden on one of my walks, and I simply fell in love with it!

Don't you want to see where the path goes?
I have linked this post with Nature Footstep Blo-Ma.

A Walk in the Snow

It was sunny and mild, only a little below freezing, so we took a long walk. Jake and I admired the cattails in the snow (okay, he was waiting for me to move on).

Here, he shows how deep the path has been trodden into the snow,

and here I show how far you sink if you step off the path. That place was not quite knee deep.

There were some mouse tracks (I think they are mouse),

and I always love the shadows of the snow.

Annie loves the snow, even if she does gain 5 pounds when it is this mild. And we were home before dark!

Paths through the Fog

Why do paths look so much more interesting in the fog?

The pond is just to the right of the spruce trees.

A Walk in the Snowy Woods

The morning rain turned to snow

 and I took the long way home,

 through the quiet woods.

 I stopped often to admire the

 beauty of the snow.

 

Geese

The geese figured they had the right of way,

 and I could turn around and go home.

 Do you see the little one, not fledged yet, hiding behind his mother?

Paths

Here are a couple of the paths at the dog park. It was raining off and on, so I was not spending a lot of time crawling on the ground to get photos of individual flowers.

Fog in Winter

Jake watches nervously

as Annie races on ahead

through the fog.

The light changes as the sun approaches the horizon.

But the only way to see the movement of the fog is to use the flash.

Skywatch Friday

Usually the fog does not last this far into our walks,

so I was able to photograph new trees with fog enveloping them.

Fog

I love the fog!

The whole world seems different!

The trees in the distance are ghostly presences, maybe here or maybe not.

The path entices me to walk further!
