Fun Day With Naturalist Buddy

I spent a lovely day with Jamestown Audubon Naturalist and Nature Photographer Jen S. here in Allegany State Park today. I am so glad that she suggested that I take some time off from work to enjoy some needed fresh air!! We didn’t go cross-country skiing as planned (I know that I keep on getting out of skiing) but we did hike along some of our snowmobile trails which gave us some great photographic opportunities. The temperatures didn’t feel bad with the sun out but we did still dressed in layers.

Jen captured a photo of me checking out this moth chrysalis. Jen – thanks for giving me permission to use this picture of me!

We also enjoyed checking out the frozen Bridal Falls

Jeez…is it warm ANYWHERE?
I love frozen falls. If I can get out of my driveway this week, I want to hike the Cincinnati Nature Center’s trails…lots of opportunity to see water. (About a zillion streams coursing through it)

These pictures are really beautiful. I did not leave the house today, I got cold just looking out the window.
