Winter Wonderland

I have experienced beautiful winter scapes yesterday and today.  My snow shoeing group went to a trail which no one had been on since the recent big snow.  The trail was narrow with evergreens brushing your shoulders knocking off some snow as we went.  The sun was shining in a pale blue sky.  Even though it was below zero, there was no wind so being bundled and moving along kept us warm.  I removed my hat halfway down the trail.   When we stopped to take some pictures, snow floated down from the top branches of the trees.  It looked as though glitter was falling to earth.  It was beautiful.  I had never seen that before.  Today the trees were dressed in frozen fog.  The dark trunks with the contrasting silver gray tops were spectacular to view as I was driving to town this morning.
