As many of
us in Minnesota know, drastic weather changes can happen overnight. The unexpected is often the norm, and we
never get too comfortable, considering all the possibilities, especially in
winter. Yesterday was a calm, sunny day
and I relished my solitary trek through the autumn woods of Camelot Park. But
as the day went on, the snow arrived and the atmosphere changed. This morning I was reminded that after a
fresh snowfall, and with the absence of snow plows and treatments on the
roadways, the brakes on the car are not quite as reliable as usual. Despite
that, I decided to embrace winter, at least for today, and headed out to a
unique wooded park in Golden Valley, a suburb of Minneapolis. I encountered no one, but I felt energized and
elated as I walked along the trail and experienced the first burst of
winter. Sure feels a lot better at the
beginning of November than in May.
Here are a
few photos from this gem of a morning and my newfound interest in
