Snowshoe and skiing adventures


 It was a cold – but sunny day. The blue sky makes such a difference, even in the wetland.

I went down to the point, where I spotted snowshoe hare tracks.

I've gotten snowshoe hares on trailcams, this in 2015. I once spotted one snowshoeing on the wetland, but they are so fast, I didn't have time for a photo!

The quiet meadow! Summer and winter...
See her ↷?


A deer bed on lot #2. This is our lot beside the highway. You can see a passing car in the background.

We've lots of old trees... the white pine is finally done.

Frog pond... summer, spring, winter

More fun from the kids out west. Cluny and Bryony are getting bigger! They have so much fun. They will be 5 and 8 this year.


Jesse is part of the ski club at Whistler Olympic Park, and volunteer teaches some littles once a week in British Columbia. The girls also have lessons. It is a great program.

 And while you can laud the little kids skiing, here is Jess taking cell phone videos alongside Bryony, Feb. 12! He's a tad slow to upload his many images!

Garbage is out, birds fed, the week begins anew.

    THis looks like a beautiful walk -- or "shoe," as the case may be. And your grands are just lovely!

    So a snowshoe rabbit is indeed a different rabbit from your other bunnies! What great big feet he has!

    The delight to have a skiing area not hours away from their home. Guess California people are out too,soon you must be getting warmer days Jenn. Here the mornings are already a lot darker.

    Oh gosh, your littles are hearty and brave and smart and cute as can be! I'm sure they all take after their grandmother!! Your daughter in law and son (I think I'm right on that, forgive if I've mixed up) are good with the cameras especially in that weather.
