A Winter Walk

A peaceful walk across a farm field...

and in some powdery snow...

led me to a woods with deer, woodland songbirds and even a bluebird or two.

Upon existing the west side of the woodland, I noticed some asters all covered in snow.

The trail amongst the prairie grasses invited a peaceful stroll...

the gray-headed coneflower offered its pleasing scent...

the palette of the prairie, wetland, and woods showcased muted tones...

the burrow of a mouse or vole revealed itself amongst the melting snow...

and the ephemeral wetland made me dream of frogs. It won't be too long now - wood frogs start calling here in February!
