Minus 1 degree this morning and overcast skies at 7:00 am. By 8:30 the clouds gave way to blue sky and sunshine. I drove out to Reservoir Ridge Natural Area to capture the beauty of nature’s wintery scenes. Just before reaching the natural area there is a farm, always with a dozen or so horses. I’ve posted images from this area before. This morning they were being fed fresh hay while two hawks were perched high in the tree tops, also hungry on this cold morning.
I so loved the blue sky this morning and how it contrasted with the white snow.
There were almost no tracks in the parking lot of the natural area which means I can find snow scenes without any signs of mans intrusion. It has been almost too cold for anyone to be out and about in it. Having said that I saw a hard core bicyclist riding his fat tire bike this morning on my way home. I plan on staying inside the rest of the day since we are only going to reach a high of 15.

These are very peaceful ✌️ scenes and should be cherished. As far as the eye can see, no tanks, bombs, rockets. Just glorious peace.

LOL So true, my friend! Could be the reason I go there. Have a great weekend!

Beautiful scenes, albeit a bit chilly. One of my favorite quotes, although the attribution is unclear, is “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” It’s great that you are able to enjoy that peaceful environment, even if it takes donning “suitable clothing.” 🙂

I have the clothing, but i believe there is such a thing as bad weather. And, tomorrow may be 50 degrees with four days just like it to follow. Bring it on!
