Snow & Ice

Winter is certainly upon us and we are trying, despite the cold, to get "out there" and enjoy the season.
The snow fell through Saturday night and when we woke up on Sunday, the landscape was white. It was magnificent!
I wanted to relish in the beauty of the day and decided to take one of my favorite local hikes with a good friend. The entire hike we kept saying, "Wow...this is so beautiful!"
There is something magical about the snow.
It leaves everything it touches so pristine, so clean; like someone painted the earth with the most exquisite glittery white paint.
The woods are incredibly quiet and you find yourself resorting to peace and happiness.
Winter is upon us and we are grateful. Spotting of the Pippi Longstocking horse in Muttenz.
Snow riding.

Loving the white stuff...

Winter...sweet winter...

Farm house...

Wanderweg in the snow...

Just beautiful...

Quiet bench...

Coffee anyone?

Castle covered in snow.

Downtown Basel.

The Tinguely Fountains are frozen...

Oh, and as for our first experiment. It is going very well. So far, we are still on track.

Gorgeous! I just love how it looks after a light and fluffy snow fall. What are the temps like there right now? I want to be out in the snow, but its been near zero - too cold for my Cali blood and my camera! LOL
