“A Winters Walk” (Hocking Hills Region, Ohio; Part 2)

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.

But, it’s pretty…

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.

    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?

    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.
