12 degrees F here today. Lots of snow. Picnic anyone?
I grew up in Africa on the edge of the Maasai Mara. I am not a fan of cold weather. No…I will not get used to it. I just tolerate it and expect it. After all, we do live in Northern Indiana.

Snow Azaleas.
Snowshoe Time
We got the snowshoes out today. A little snow hike in the county park down by the river. Cold. Beautiful. Peaceful.
Winter Camera Hiatus is Broken
I used to love being out with the cameras on "mild" winter days. That came to a quick, unplanned end a couple years ago when a devastating injury from a fall on the ice took me completely off my feet for close to six months. Many of you know that story so I won't bore you with that again. It has created an ongoing fear of outdoor winter excursions.
This and several following posts will briefly break that cycle. It's not so bad when there is snow around...deep, deep snow. We donned the snow shoes and headed to one of many of our beautiful county parks. Great trails take you through a winter wonderland. In addition, we just got home from a mid-winter warmup in Hawaii. When I say we just got home, I mean JUST! We arrived home as the snow flurries began which then became over 20" of snow over the next 18 hours. Snowfall and Hawaii. Stay tuned.
