On a gloomy day, snowshoeing in the Mount Kearsarge Wildlife Management Area.
Ice and slush in a disappointing winter (but there is always February!)
When I was teaching, I used this blog to communicate with my students.
Now I use it to share my photos.

Snowshoes
On a sunny afternoon, I left the library and snowshoed along the SRKG
Beaver Pond trail towards Patterson Road. The ice over the brook cracked
and fell in as I crossed the first time, which gave me a few hairy
moments on the return trip. No bridge. Also, no birds, no squirrels, no
sounds except for my own breathing.

Why I love New Hampshire
Last night 6 inches of fluffy white powder drifted to the ground. Today the world is beautifully frosted. The sun is so strong that within minutes of getting out on the trails the gloves and scarf came off.
Chickadees are whistling in spring while the downy woodpeckers do drum solos to welcome back the sun.

There's a Storm Coming
There's a storm coming. The air is still and sounds are muffled, signs
of a warm front. A perfect day to take a walk (after bringing in enough
wood for the next few days).

Fire and Ice
After a few weeks in Connecticut, where the winter has been brown and dreary, I am back in New Hampshire. The ground is white, there is more snow predicted for tonight, and there will be skiing tomorrow!
Last night's sunset lit up the frost on the porch windows.

Up and out on the first day of the year. A perfect winter's morning.
