Walking home from the radio show this morning was a winter wonderland. Even at 9am it was still below zero and the hoar frost covered all the trees and bushes. Since the journey to the station and back is only a couple of miles, I usually walk to the park and do a few miles there before returning to the house. That way I get my daily mileage in and get some private time since I don’t (or won’t)<\/span> answer my phone while walking in the morning. The only bad thing was the breeze that dropped the\u00c2\u00a0wind chill\u00c2\u00a0down to -35 or lower. Made it painful to take off my gloves to use my cell phone to snap pictures of the wonderland I was walking through. But I did it for you, my loyal readers.\u00c2\u00a0So without further ado, here is some what I saw as I wondered the park this morning.<\/div>\n

The evergreens had a dusting of snow and hoarfrost.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The bushes were hairy with hoarfrost.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The trees reached into the pure blue skies with fingers of white.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The path curved through white fingered bushes.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
Some of the bushes were out to get me!<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
And others looked like they’d been gotten.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
