away for the weekend: west river revisited

west river revisited

Last weekend we decided to head out with our guests for another snowshoeing adventure.
Or - I think that is - Greg and I decided to head out snowshoeing and
told our guests to be sure to bring their snow gear - they were going to need it.
Yeah.... we're gracious hosts...


It was a pretty day though,
 - and we all enjoyed trying to find catamount tracks.
Although, I'm pretty sure they were all dog prints.


And while I practiced taking photos with the lens I got for Christmas,
Greg took better photos with his iPhone.
Hmmmm, I kind of hate that...



And I won't say which is which.


A little frozen water for Wednesday


And while these photos may look cold,
the weather we have right now makes last weekend seem downright balmy!

Have a great week!

Thanks for dropping in!

    It can be very frustrating learning how to use a new piece of equipment, but you'll soon get the knack. Compare photos then! At any rate, I like all the photos. Looks like you had a great day.

    Great photos whether iphone or your camera! I like the first one with the snow along the banks of the rocky river and the icicles.
    Stay warm!

    Icy chill going up my spine as I look at your pictures! Let me take a walk outside here....at 9:53p.m., it's 56 degrees. I hope you live above us on the map though so when your snow melts, it will come this way in the river....we are DRY!

    Kareem, I would be doing more photography and less walking if these were the scenes along the way. This would be our kind of weekend fun.

    Just beautiful. I would love to be able to visit places like that in the snow. I have my first phone with a decent camera. It does pretty good!

    The path running parallel to the river reminds me of a spot west of here along Current River... there old train tracks running alongside & there's caves in the hill & all kinds of wildlife!
    Beautiful, very beautiful views! Thank you Thank you for joining =)
