I went for a walk in the snow.

[panik]

I should be working but what the heck, it's SNOWING, man!


It was a wee biut too snowy and treacherous underfoot to go tramping through forests and moors so I went for a stroll down the back of the house...


Where there's a path that was a railway line till 1963.



Just a path now though.





SNOW SQUEE!!!
 
It's still coming down hard out there.

These pix might have uploaded out a wee bit larger than I intended - sorry! Not dial-up friendly, for sure.

love the pics - reminds me of home. the first one especially is artistic - i'd recommend blowing it up and framing it, because it's not everyday you snap a pic like that.

So, where's home?

Thanks for the kindly comments, chuck! It's not that often we get this kind of weather these days so it was fun to re-live the old days and go walking in the snow.

'home' is the greater St Louis area - i say greater because there's a county on the IL side of the Mississippi River that's functionally one big suburb of the city. there's also a town called Alton in that county that has this park with these beautiful old trees. you go there in the fall and shuffle through a carpet 6 inches thick of leaves - all reds, golds, and oranges - it's amazing. winter in that area tends towards a little more snow than the rest of the place, because it's so close to the river. seeing the park in winter is just amazing.

long comment, but that's immediately what i thought of when i saw that first picture - it gave me this 'coming home' feeling, which i totally value and treasure. so i owe you a debt of thanks! :-D
