Walking After a Storm

After the StormBelleville Hill Park, Cincinnati, Ohio, by Mitch Teemley

Walking After a Storm

There’s something about walking after a storm. Silhouetted hardwoods mingle with steadfast evergreens. New-fed streams rise up against their banks. Shoots poke through the remaining vestiges of snow. These images were captured during recent after-storm walks with my wife Trudy. They’re from Mt. Airy Forest (just blocks from our home); the Loveland Bike Trail; and an annual nature center event called Light in the Forest — a night filled with beautiful painterly skies!

    Beautiful photographs. I’m thinking the last one is with you and Trudy. It better be :-). Have a wonderful day, and thanks for sharing your memories.

  3. You captured the magic of that day, in words and in photographs.

    Blizzards in the US – I thought of you while cycling in the warm sun with temperatures of almost 20 degrees and birds singing joyfully here in Switzerland…

    Here in New Jersey, we’ve been having lots of snow and snowstorms.

  8. Despite the cold a walk through the wooded park is a fantastic way to reset your mind and body.
    A half hour stroll can erase the stresses of life’s toll.

    Thankfully,here in Toronto, we have as many trees as people. That’s a lot of trees. We have many beautiful parks and riverside valleys that are filled with wildlife.

    You forget that you are in a city of millions.

    My two beautiful dogs and I often seek the refuge and solace of our greenspace to clear my mind.

  9. It’s a beautiful world. But must admit, would love a bit of snow before Spring arrives, just been rain here.

    Lovely photos; some of them make think of Frostiana, some of them remind me of cryptid movie covers.

    You take amazing photos! My fave is the crescent moon over the woods. It’s calming yet also foreboding.

    Beautiful photographs! We don’t get any snow where we live, so it’s always a welcome sight to see some. 😀
