a walk in the woods.....

we had a small snowfall friday night into saturday and we decided to take advantage of how pretty everything looked.  there are some woods behind our house, much of which is pretty dense, but there are areas that are more open.  we decided to explore them on saturday.  it was cloudy but the temp was pretty moderate and we were actually pretty warm....

here is some of the beauty we saw....

we decided to bring the dog who, if he wasn't on his leash, would have been deep into the woods following the deer and rabbit tracks we saw all over the place.  he couldn't help burying his head completely into the snow in some places.....

hence, the snow on his nose

i even got into the picture, which is rare, because don has absolutely no idea how to use my camera. even when i set it up for him the pictures usually don't turn out but this one turned out pretty good.

don got into a fight with a picker bush.......the picker bush won....

and it just couldn't let the fight go, it had to follow him out of the woods....

later that day, we went to the annual frankenmuth snowfest with our friends.   i'll post about that in a couple of days....

have a great monday!!!
