🏃‍♀️❄️ Winter's Embrace: A Riverside Run ❄️🏞️

Hey there, nature-loving souls! I just had to share the magic of my morning run along the river on this crisp winter day. There's something truly enchanting about the world along the water's edge in the wintertime.

As I hit the trail, the chill in the air nipped at my cheeks, reminding me that winter had indeed arrived. The river flowed gracefully, partially covered by a delicate sheet of ice that sparkled like diamonds in the soft morning light.

The path beside the river was a tranquil haven. Trees along the bank stood tall and proud, their branches dusted with a light powdering of snow. The world seemed hushed, as if it was holding its breath in reverence to the beauty of the season.

Each step I took sent a satisfying crunch through the snow beneath my feet, a rhythmic and soothing sound that matched the cadence of my breath. I felt in sync with the world around me, my worries melting away with every stride.

The river itself was a masterpiece of contrasts. The dark, flowing water was framed by the pristine white of the snowy landscape, creating a visual symphony that captured my heart. I couldn't help but pause for a moment to take it all in, feeling a deep sense of gratitude for these precious moments in nature.

As I continued my run, I spotted a pair of birds, their feathers fluffed against the cold. They seemed to be sharing a secret conversation, a reminder that life endures even in the harshest of seasons.

Now, I'm back home, wrapped in a warm blanket and sipping on a cup of hot tea. The memory of that riverside run still lingers, a reminder that winter holds its own unique and exquisite beauty.

So, my fellow nature admirers, if you ever have the chance, don't shy away from a winter run. Embrace the chill, let the beauty of the riverside captivate you, and find solace in the serene embrace of nature. ❄️🌊🏃‍♀️

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning! Everything looks pretty and there is quite a bit of activity but I loved these quiet moments at the bird bath. Until the thirsty MoDo arrived, that is 😆 They always drink as if they have a hangover. (You see a Junco, a female Cardinal, a male Cardinal and a Mourning Dove.) Stay warm today!

Walk with me: a Central Appalachian forest in December. Winter is fast approaching, much to my relief. While some hide away in warm, cozy nooks, my old bones seek forest paths illuminated by sunlit snow, where I am reminded that life persists in the harshest conditions - by birds flitting silently in the underbrush and crisscrossing animal tracks that memorialize, however temporarily, the unending survival chores of the forest community. In the frozen stillness and quiet introspection of the deepest woods on a Winter afternoon, I am renewed by nature's relentless life pulse, beating against all odds, and cherish it even more.
