Finding adventures, big and small

Sunshine and Snow

1/29/2021

 
A snowy path with many footprints heading between two hills. The sun shines from the upper right corner, and the sky is blue with some light puffy white clouds. There is sagebrush and other scrub plants and pine trees and juniper on the hillsides.

Brush in the snow

A large brush plant with thin leaves, brown from the winter surrounded by snow

Curve

In the background: a hill with the sun shining slightly from behind it. In the foreground: a tree, bare and barren in winter curving over to the snow covered ground.

A Winter Walk...

We have not gotten much snow in town this year, but luckily for us we can find a winter wonderland just a short drive away. We only got a little bit stuck in the ice on the way out of the trailhead parking lot.

Tracks tracks tracks...

A oicture of snow covered ground with various boot and hiking pole prints around the outside. In the center there is a bird print of some kind.
Will I ever get tired of looking at and taking pictures of animal tracks in the snow? All signs point to a resounding NO. Will I ever get better at identifying them beyond "uh...some kind of bird?" That's a resounding maybe?

A bit of trail side art...

1/14/2021

 
A metal sculpture, evocative of a canoe with trees in the background. There is a plaque that reads
I find this bit of sculpture dedicated to this trail's namesake very pleasing.

Always trying...

A piece of brick wall from a small crumbling structure on the trail with
Gotta keep hoping, gotta back it up by working for a better world... Loved this bit of graffiti we found on the trail.

Pond on the Portneuf

1/12/2021

 
A scene of a river in winter, with empty branches of trees in the foreground. The ground is covered in snow and ice and there is a small pnd in the middle running out to the river.

Reminding myself...

1/11/2021

 
Grey sagebrush in the foreground, a gentle hill with a light dusting of snow covered in Juniper trees in the middle, and snow covered mountains in the background
I spent the first part of the afternoon yelling at our governor (through a screen! he couldn't hear me or anything!) while he gave his state of the state address. (He has been...not as bad as he could have been, and while I'm not entirely happy with his approach to the pandemic, he has at least taken some action, rather than the irresponsible entirely hands-off approaches  we have seen in other states .)

So this afternoon, it was off for a walk to remind myself of the (Very deep and very big) "love" part of the love/hate relationship I have with my home state. It's pretty damn gorgeous here, and I love how close I am to really great hiking trails.

Ducks

1/7/2021

 
Ducks floating on a river with trees framing the picture in the foreground. Many of the ducks have pretty green heads.
My country is in turmoil, and it's a pretty frightening time, but walking along the river to look at ducks is always a good thing.
