Wednesday Walk - Lights in the snow at night - Actifit: January 5 2022

avatar

Hello friends! Here’s my Wednesday Walk post. In case you haven’t heard of it, this tag is hosted by @tattoodjay each week and you can see beautiful walks from all over the world. He also collaborates with @elizacheng, who hosts #makemesmile!

My Wednesday Walk took me round my neighborhood a bit after dark. Many people still have their holiday lights up during these dark days, and I captured some of them along with lights from gardens, porches and lamp posts, as well as a selfie under the streetlight!

In case you are not acquainted with me, I live in Minnesota where the winters are harsh and beautiful. Here in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” we get all four seasons in full living color. Stupendous rainstorms in spring, stunning flower gardens in summer, vibrant autumns, and cold white winters.

It is not always brutally cold in the winter, but we do have “cold spells” where the temperature drops down far below freezing — as low as -40 (both Fahrenheit and Celsius). I will walk outdoors under almost any conditions, but my personal limit is about -20 Fahrenheit (-28.88 Celsius). On my Wednesday walk it was therefore a rather pleasing 8 degrees Fahrenheit (-13.33 Celsius).

Of course I dress well for the weather, with a very thick coat, ski gloves, furry winter hat, snow boots and a scarf to cover my face. I also put warmers in my gloves. This is key because I have to keep taking my hands out to take pictures! And it is so nice to put them back inside where it is toast warm.

But back to the pictures in the snow! The next picture is of my garden lights surrounding a garden patch with shrubs, flowers and a small cluster of birch trees which as you can imagine all look quite different in the warm seasons!

And a few more pictures of the front of my house… including one showing some odd little tracks in the snow. I don’t know what caused them! They are on the path just below my bird feeder.

Next more holiday lights from my neighborhood.

A few more of pretty house and porch lights in the snow…

A beautiful evening walk nice to see you in the selfie

Those tracks in the snow look cool but intrigued what made them

I feel the cold more these days so I generally skip walking when the temp is below freezing point myself

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Thanks again for hosting Wednesday Walk, @tattoodjay! And thank you for your visit. I look forward to Wednesday each week! I didn't manage to get my post up on Wednesday this week! Ha ha. But the walk was on Wednesday. :-)

I didn't realize my first picture was blurry until I looked at my post on the computer! (Eye roll!!)

No worries I only ask is possible to post on a Wednesday I visit them all whatever day they are posted

Don’t worry I have shared photos that are blurry in the past as well and it wasn’t to bad

They look so different on the tiny mobile phone screen than on the big computer screen! Ha ha.

Those are all so very awesome picture! I love snow to begin, and seeing it lit with lights like that is really very pretty. Thanks so much for sharing! Hopefully I'll get some snow at some point to be able to do the same. I'm keeping up my outdoor Christmas lighting with high hopes!

Great to hear from you @wwwiebe! I hope you do get some snow. I find that it makes winter so much nicer. And yes, lights on the snow at night is really special!
