Today, it was a beautiful winter morning in Ottawa, the snow had stopped falling, and the sky was a breathtaking cloudless blue. Despite the cold temperature (minus 17 C, which feels like minus 22, according to my weather app), I joined a group of friends for a snowshoe walk to the Herridge Shelter in Meech Creek Valley.
What a fabulous day with friends in a perfect setting. Your superb photos transport me to this snowy wonderland I have never seen. Thank you for taking me along! 😊
What a beautiful location and day for a winter snowshoe walk! I am with you on enjoying the dramatic changes between the seasons that come with living "Up North". I keep hoping (and working in my small ways) for it to continue this way for many years to come. Thanks for sharing.
Perfumed trails in brief adventures to embrace the winter days warmed by the shy stillness of the sun. Soft white memories suspended from bare branches. Cold nature nurturing life. Footprints scattered in the snow that will be fading into the next season...Somewhere, pleased and grateful for the walk, I'm smiling. Hot and steaming coffee has just arrived at my table.
This looks and sounds amazing! I also went on a winter walk yesterday, way up in the mountains. We have special winter hiking trails (as I'm sure there are in Canada as well) and we came across a bunch of snowshoe walkers. There are a lot of snowshoe trails too (see picture on Twitter).
Looks like you picked the perfect day for it. Love those wintery pictures with the blue skies. And that squirrel is too cute. Nicely captured. Plus, it looks like you found some snow-covered "dunes" with grass sticking out. Or at least that's what it reminded me of. That shelter is straight out of a fairytale. Just wow.
And that's one happy showshoe walker at the end. Thank you for taking us along. Glad I could read it from the warmth of my living room though.
Next . . .
a Full Moon Snowshoe Trek. It's a must do challenge. It's a bucket list item. It's heaven on Earth

Beautiful day in Gatineau Park today... I was winter cycling. That's also an adventure we should try.

What an extraordinary glorious day for a snowshoe trek with friends. The stark contrast between earth and crystal blue sky is exquisite.
