Adventure XV

Type of Adventure: Walk

Date of Adventure: Sun. 14 Dec 2008

Place of Adventure: Rugby Field/Swamp

Length of Adventure, miles: 1.5

Length of Adventure, hours: 1.5

Companions: Colyn

Other Adventurists Encountered: None

Weather: Sunny, light wind, upper 20's, about 5" of crusted snow on the ground.

Points of interest: 1. Snow! This was the first snow accumulation of the season for us, so it was very exciting. 2. Icicles. The snow came as part of an ice storm, so everything was coated with about 1/2" of ice. The trees were gorgeous in the sunlight. Everything glistened and glinted and shone.

A random iced over branch. I told you there was glistening.


More random iced over branches.



Iced over tree bud.



Iced over crab apples on a flowering crabapple tree.


You know, sometimes being tenacious and hanging on for all you're worth through the worst that life can throw at you isn't the greatest idea. You could end up like these leaves.
