“A Winter’s Walk” (Hocking Hills Region, Ohio; Part 2)




Trail view; Old Man's Cave; Hocking Hills Region; Oho
My sister’s current tag line for virtually all text messages is “I can’t wait ‘til SPRING!” I know; I know… We’ve been well-wintered this year and have the damp piles of snow pants in our laundry rooms to prove it. Over-sized mugs leave the dishwasher only to be refilled with steaming hot chocolate or cider. Sleds and shovels lean at-the-ready against a garage wall, never quite making it back into their storage spaces.

I’m reminded of the affectionate muttering I did when cleaning up disgusting baby messes… “It’s a good thing you’re so cute.”

Ahhh, Winter… It’s a good thing you’re so lovely.

It didn’t take my breath away so much as make me grateful to breathe in Winter so deeply.

  1. You sure take great photographs. I can feel the chill. We have a storm here today in New Zealand but at least it’s still warm despite autumn’s fast approach.

  2. Beautiful !!!

  3. Very beuitful photos i love winter the snow and ice ty for your comment on my blog to

  4. Thanks Suzanne. One thing I appreciate about photography is that you can look at the images later and say, “Yes, it really WAS that lovely.”

    A New Zealander (who plays for the Columbus Crew soccer team) is involved with training my older son’s team. Quite a transplant, huh?

  5. Thanks mee mOe! Hope you are “wintering” well…

  6. Nyte,
    Winter is so much better when you’re out in the midst of it! Glad you liked the photos.

  7. We New Zealanders do get around. A lot of our superb sportmen go overseas to join teams or coach. For a very small nation, we do exceptionally well at sports on an international field.

  8. Nice Photographs.Thanks for sharing.

  9. Thanks for visiting Anup!
