Winter walk

This afternoon I decided I had spent enough time indoors, and even though the wind chill was -2, I decided to go for a walk. In the first five minutes, while still adjusting the scarf and my headphones, I decided I was crazy and wouldn't last another block. Once I started walking though, I loved it (and I even stayed warm)! I probably walked about 2 miles, admiring the snow and the cute little houses and loving the cold fresh air. I don't know what it is about cold air and me, but I do love it. It's refreshing, it reminds me that I'm alive. Maybe it's because there's such a stark difference between my body temperature and the air that I'm breathing... but I love it. There were snow flurries and a beautiful sunset, old places and new places, frozen creeks and such.

As I came back home, I thought I'd stop by the bottom of the gorge, and it's absolutely beautiful. Some of the falls are frozen and covered in snow, but amongst the frozen bits, the water is still rushing quickly. It was completely beautiful. And while I'm having great difficulties with my camera taking pictures in focus, I took pictures anyway :). Just to keep to remember how beautiful it is, to remind me come March when I'm ready for spring and winter is still here.
