Photos Blades on Hikes

Took a hike across the fields today. Mid 20's F, overcast. Cold, but I had to get out of the house. The lake is forming new ice again. Found the remains of an Illinois trophy ten pointer. Guess winter hasn't been kind to him!20260102_150529.jpg20260102_144500.jpg20260102_144711.jpg

I hate the cold regardless, I look forward to the day my wife feels the same and we get away from this crap - if I never had to shovel/move snow again, I'd be okay with that.

I’m the opposite. I let my wife convince me to retire in southern NM from one of the coldest, snowiest places in the country and I miss it like crazy. True I don’t have to plow, blow, or shovel snow anymore, so maybe I am just remembering the best parts through rose colored glasses and all that. . .

Last one of 2025, was a balmy 11°F (with windchill it was around -4°F) - I think I carried the Sebenza the most this year for all our hikes:

Is it still a waterfall if its frozen?

He was able to find loads of pine cones today, just required removing them from the ice before he could chase them:

I think I've finally acclimated to the cold for the year, 13°F felt almost warm:

He was having a blast, most of the pine cones were frozen in the ground, so he got to do some digging, then chase once they were out of the ice/snow:

there is a nasty vine like that down here, but not as many spikes. which sounds better...but really isn't as you might not see the spikes when ya push it out of the way or grab it. I call it a cat claw vine. not sure what its real name is. they suck and I cut them off whenever I run into to them.
