New Year's and Change in Perspective

Our walk was only 30 minutes because the day was short and the sun was due to set in an hour. I had not brought any light to walk with. There was no breeze and thus the day was comfortable if dressed warmly. It actually made it up into the 50s F by the time we had worked into a steady walking pace.

The beginning of the walk has a small fishing pond that is stocked for children to fish in the spring. It was clearly frozen near the edges. As we walked over the dam and toward the little creek that emptied into the swamp and beaver ponds, I tried to get a slower photo of the little waterfalls that the trail goes beside. My setting was not slow enough, it looks more icy than flowy.

As we came to the sunnier side of the trail, the mosses along the base of the trees seem to keep their lime green most of the winter.

If you squint your eyes at the photo below can you pretend that this is a huge cliff at the edge of the ocean...can you?  Not the best photoshopping...but fun on New Year's Eve.

Can you see the man in the lower left and the man sitting up above in the moss?
