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!

Reminds me of my old Kentucky home!
Yes!

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.
;>) Indeed it is.
You captured the magic of that day, in words and in photographs.
Thank you, Neil.
wonderful! <3
🧡
Your photography is a witness to light and love. What a gift.
Why, thank you, Xavier.
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.
So I’ve heard. Stay warm!
Thank you 🙏 and you likewise. Mtetar at basicissimple (Formerly projectsbymtetar on WordPress).
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.
It’s a beautiful world. But must admit, would love a bit of snow before Spring arrives, just been rain here.
I understand, Gary. We have years when there’s little or no snow, and I miss it.
Great photos, many thanks!!
My pleasure, Fitz.
Lovely photos; some of them make think of Frostiana, some of them remind me of cryptid movie covers.
see … Ohio can be a good thing. 🙂

You take amazing photos! My fave is the crescent moon over the woods. It’s calming yet also foreboding.
Thank you so much. That’s my favorite one too.
Great post, Mitch! Thank you for sharing these awesome photos!
My pleasure, Chris!
Your wife is still young and pretty. The jury is still out on You! lol 😁

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

It does, doesn’t it? Thanks, Iba.

Thank you, Keith, and yes it is❣
Super skill with your photography. The photos are really punchy, if that makes sense. Lovely last shot of you both.
