Winter Solstice

Hooray for the new snow! Not only did it allow me to go snowshoeing on the Winter Solstice as planned, but it allowed me to do so by simply walking out the front door!

More photos are here. Happy Winter Solstice to all!

I was surprised that within 12 hours of the end of the 2006 CO Blizzard, the main street in my neighborhood was plowed.

But I stuck to the trail as I wanted to try out my new RedFeather Race snowshoes today.

Going along the walking (well, now snowshoeing) trail in the neighborhood towards the Horsetooth Mountains.

Heading back. Note that the homes shown were NOT buried by the snow; they were built that way (their lower levels are basements partially submerged in the ground).

Yours truly getting a good workout!

As the sun started to set on this Winter Solstice, people started turning on their X-mas lights. Here''s to longer days ahead!

   New toys! Looks like you took advantage of the snow and had a fun time snowshoeing. I, on the other hand, would have spent a little bit of time making a snowman, maybe some snow angels, and then run back inside for a hot shower and some hot chocolate. :)
