All I’m asking is for a few cold but sunny days during the week when I can go for a trail walk. So far 2017 has been a major disappointment in the weather department. We actually saw a little sunshine over the weekend…for part of the time at least, but when the sun comes out and the temperatures warm up, the people come out too. So with my tongue in cheek, I’m begging for some cold sunny weekdays. The kind of days when snow is on the ground and almost nobody ventures out on the trails in the park. On days like that, as long as I stay clear of the sledding hill, I have the trails all to myself. That’s the way I like it!
I ventured out for a few short trail walks over the weekend, but there were, as a photographer friend put it, “…lots of people, families galore, and no birds.” So here are a few pictures from the weekend, and as you can see, NO BIRDS!”
It’s winter you know, and, as a trail walker and photographer, I would really like to see temperatures in the mid-twenty range, some snow on the ground, and sunny blue skies. Really, am I asking too much?
Thanks for reading my rant. I’m done ranting for now and will return to my normal sunny disposition…as soon as the weather improves.
P.S.Please don’t take me seriously. I am thankful we haven’t experienced the kind of bad storms that have hit parts of our country. I’m just feeling a little impatient with the weather woman (or man).

I do like your birds, but these deer are beautiful also.

It’s not hard to find those places in northeast Ohio in the winter. Summer and fall are very different stories.

I agree with you about needing some cold sunny days so we can hit the trails.

Hi Kathy. Cold sunny days and a few inches of snow…That’s my request.

Those were my favorite days to walk and use my camera — cold with some snow on the ground. The kind of weather that keeps everyone else indoors. I understand how you feel. š

I’ve been looking through some of my photo archives and the autumn and winter pictures are my favorites…when there is snow in the winter.

Winters here on the south shore of Lake Erie can be pretty drab unless there is snow. Sunshine is a rare commodity here in the winter. Autumn and summer, on the other hand, are great!

The deer are still lovely! We’ve seen very little sun either, longing for springš

You’re right, Belinda. The deer were the only bright spots on my weekend walks. I enjoy them, especially when they are in the park.
