I think there’s something uniquely satisfying about the deep sounding ‘creak’ or crunch that you get when walking on fresh snow.  I’m not sure if it’s just the sound, or the knowledge that you are the first person to walk on that particular spot for a while, or the fact that you have some grip and are less likely to slip, or maybe it’s all three.  Anyway, our car had to visit the garage to have its winter tyres put on, so I went for a walk up and down the river (Borgne).  As you will see from the images below, it was a little misty, at least to start with, but I think that adds to the atmosphere.  To add to at least my interest, there were a lot of fresh animal tracks around, but no animals to be seen unfortunately.

We have a few days of sunshine forecast, so I hope to bring you some brighter pictures later this week.  😀

      I’m glad you like them. There will of course be more to come over the next 4 months… 😊 Though this week may be relatively warm so some of it will disappear.

          P.S. You are now streaking ahead in my Comments table (at 79 to 70 and 61 in second and third place), so you are now officially my best blogging buddy! 😁 I’ve also just noticed that I’ve done 553 posts and have had just over 100,000 views in the 4 and half years I’ve been blogging. (First time I’ve looked at the stats for a while!)

    Most times our snow is quick to turn to slush and messy. I love crunchy snow too, the sound walking alone in the woods is wonderful. Awesome snow captures, Mike!

      Yes, that sort of happens here during November and December, depending upon how warm it is during the day. This week it may hit 10 degrees C (50 F) so a lot will disappear (at our altitude anyway). When it arrives in late December and early January, it tends to stay, often topped up of course, until April! Anyway, I’m glad you liked the photos. 😊

      I’m glad you liked it. It’s a walk I’ve done many times before but never in the mist. So it was nice to find something a little ‘different’ to post. 😊

      Yes, you need to wrap up warm. It looks much better in the sunshine though. Pics maybe tomorrow or Friday. 😊

  5. The sound of snow (better if fresh) under the shoes (boots) can be like music! Unless you are not too tired !

  6. […] almost makes up for it, and if you fancy some snow to cool down with, there’s plenty of it here. Much as the Norwegian Blue Parrot in Monty Python’s ‘dead parrot’ sketch was […]
