Come for a little stroll along one of my usual dog walking haunts.
Pawprints
and hoof prints - the only clue that the deer take control of this landscape of an evening, once all the pesky dog-walkers and their four-legged friends have vacated their home territory.
Narrow paths are carved through the drifting snow by determined pedestrians.
Long winter shadows, even though it is just after midday and the sun is at it's highest point for today.
How is it that my husband transforms into tall, skinny stick man, but I remain short and dumpy - where are my tall, skinny winter-shadow legs?
Interesting scents that must be investigated....
... and with noses buried and fluffy bums in the air, we must investigate some more.
The golf course lake is mostly frozen over and covered in a smooth blanket of snow. Inviting but dangerous.
And this is the view over the river valley, and the town of Cochrane, looking towards those mountains.
And despite the clear skies, there is little warmth to the day and the blues look weak and watery.
But at least we can actually see the sky today - so I am happy!
My World Tuesday - Have a super week.
Terrific shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. How wonderful it must be to live so close to the Rockies!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I particularly like the photo of the two doggy bottoms, side by side. What a catch that shot is! It's a "remember this?" photo for a family album.

I like your wintry wonderland and mountain views. That shadow thing happens in my world, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view over the valley! You're lucky to live in the Foothills!
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots and how beautiful it is! Reminds me of our years in Montana and the snowy walks with the kids and the dogs! Funny, I had the same problem with that shadow thing!! Hope your week is off to a great start! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! It is wonderful to see the snow in pictures and imagine it.

Beautiful winter photos. I can imagine how cold is it there. Here, we are on our first day of Summer.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day always.
Loved the name of your blog, "FrostbiteSunburn". Sounds like an oxymoron. I guess now it's the time for frostbite. Beautiful pictures and thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place for a walk. But stay off that frozen lake! I've had an irrational fear of stepping on frozen water since watching one of those Omen movies as a kid where someone went through the ice!
