Deep In The Woods

Nikon D40, 18-55mm Nikkor lens

Thankfully we had dressed warm enough for a short excursion, even though we were headed for the theatre later in the day, but I forgot and put on an old pair of leather gloves that are really not winter appropriate. At one point, my fingers were freezing, mainly due to my taking my hands out of the gloves in order to work the camera, and Wanda, my friend, made me swap with her so that I could wear her warm woolen mittens in between shots.
Friendship is sharing mittens, that’s for sure!
The beauty of this walk left a big impression on me. We barely covered any distance because of the cold and our husbands waiting back at her home, but she wanted me to see what a wonderful area was here in her neighborhood for exploring, and we vowed to come back, dressed appropriately and armed with snowshoes to make the passage easier.

    This is a fantastic shot…I love the bits of red on the right, and a little further down as well…it makes the snow look that much whiter…any moose around?

    I’ve had a lovely time Joanne looking and reading about your images that I have missed out on since I’ve been away – I feel as though I’ve witnessed Canada in winter first hand. Thank you! :)

    Magical shot, I imagine a deep silence in this forest – (well-walked already though, judging by the depth of that pathway!) Can’t help but think of the Narnia stories when I see this:)

  • Joanne Bradley replied

    Now that you mention it, it had that magical feel, like we stepped out of reality for the amount of time we were there and anything could have happened. I love the Narnia stories…

    love how you’ve taken us inside the thick of it all ~ the way the path leads us in and has us wanting to follow…somehow the walk through the woods in a snow fall is one of those moments that make me just glad to be alive…even if we’re cold!! big hugs for sharing it all with us ~
    “Friendship is sharing mittens, that’s for sure! ” makes me smile :) xx
