A Walk in the Woods

Today we decided to take a short walk on the trails at the State Park.

We had a nice two days of snowfall and a good strong wind last night. The snow and the drifting were beautiful but then the sun appeared. We just couldn't resist getting out and gathering some vitamin D.

We hopped into the car and drove first to the lake shore to see what it was like, but the wind was still a bit strong there. So we drove over to Snug Harbor parked and took a walk into the woods.

It had been traveled by quite a few persons and dogs before us so the walking was not difficult. The wind in the tree tops and the sounds of birds enjoying the bursts of sun were the only sounds to disrupt our quiet walk.  The occasional fall of snow drifting off the trees was refreshing. We took a few pictures to post so I hope you enjoy them.
