It’s not that I have forgotten to take pictures lately, but trail walking (and blogging) have taken a back seat to other responsibilities and the mundane routines of daily life…and the weather has not been friendly to photo walking. Temperatures way below freezing and icy trails have kept me closer to home than usual. Consequently, I haven’t had much to post on my photo blog. Today, finally, the weather was good: cold, crisp, and more or less dry, and I decided to take a walk…as soon as I finished some necessary desk work.
Unfortunately, by the time I finished the work and glanced at the clock, I discovered it was already five pm. Sunset was imminent. “Better hurry,” I told myself, as I grabbed my camera and car keys, and headed to Chagrin River Park to meet Bob. In the little time left before complete dark, I captured a few pictures of the river and, passing by the fire pit, another one of a pair of bike riders warming up by the fire.
But finally it was too dark to see where we were walking, so we turned down the trail that led to the car park. That’s when I spotted the moon playing peek-a-boo behind the clouds, and I captured one final photo to take home.
It had turned out to be a short trail walk, but we did get a little exercise, and I’m happy with the results. I hope you enjoyed the photos.
The bitter cold makes it hard to convince ones self to venture out, dress well get out there. Cheers

Thanks, Eliza. Wasn’t sure I was going to get anything when I went out so late, so I felt lucky with the results.

Thank you, Laurie. It was so nearly dark that I wasn’t sure how the images would turn out and couldn’t tell until I saw them on my computer.

Thanks, Camille. The weather last night was a welcome change. I hear that we can expect more snow tonight and tomorrow and more frigid weather this week. Time will tell.
