A brief flash of springtime in winter

It was a pretty morning with the temperature at nearly 60F. There was lots of evaporation happening at the snow surface which made for patchy ground fog. Drew dropped me off at the dentist office and headed out to walk his favorite hidden gem of a trail in Topsham. It runs along a creek which adds to the mystique.

He said that it was so gorgeous this time of morning and he photographed it from a few different angles as the light changed each time he passed the creek.

The shafts of light were stunning as they beamed down through the trees.

In contrast to this beauty, was our walk on the Hix Small Cemetery Road yesterday afternoon. Talk about MUD! I am so glad we don't have to drive on this road during mud season!

As we were not wearing YakTrax, we decided to give the forested road to the cemetery a miss as it was rather icy. We sure have enjoyed these past couple of warm days before going into the deep freeze of the weekend.
