My post is ridiculously late this week, but I'm glad of it, because I can use a couple of photos I took today. I just can't choose between them though.
Unfortunately, I decided at the last minute not to take my camera, figuring that with the cloudy sky, I wouldn't have much opportunity for taking photos. Thankfully I had the camera on my phone, which is how I got these pictures.
The first is across what we think is a frozen lake, and it was spectacular, and the second photo is a close-up of some of the snow that had fallen on the tree-branches, taken with the flash on.
The crystal formations are so neat in this. It's snow, but it looks like a giant frost of sorts.
Most of the people we came across on the trail didn't use poles, but I did, and I found them to be so helpful - especially when dealing with hills, and they were a comfort for some of the narrower bridges as well, as the effect may well be as much mental as physical. I just felt that much steadier.
I can't wait to go snowshoeing again soon! Next time though, I'm taking the camera with me.

I can't believe that you have so much snow and even a frozen lake already! It's just never that cold in the valley here in Oregon, so it's hard to imagine.
Yuck. That all looks way too cold.
Alyce, it's not like that everywhere! Those were taken at the top of one of the local mountains, in the ski area, which is shared with snowshoe trails. Thanks for commenting though.
Not too cold, Michael, at least not if you layer up properly. Thanks for stopping in with a comment.
I love the forest in wintertime! It's so quiet and fresh. Your photos are lovely :) I still haven't got the hang of snowshoeing, though.
Thanks Trish. I was surprised, I thought snowshoeing would be more difficult than it turned out to be.
Glad you had your phone to capture some images. The first one is so very beautiful. The second one entrancing.
Thanks Louise. The snow is so gorgeous.
