Family Snowshoe Expedition

Note: This post features some photo and narrative content from a post previously (2/24/07) published on my other blog, My Runner's Feet. It does, however, inlcude more photos.

Weather Report: Cloudy, 22°F, 51% Humidity, Winds: From W @ 9 mph; feels like 12°F.

Anne, the boys, and I took advantage of the "nice" weather today to do some snowshoeing at Mendon Ponds Park. We are all fairly new (actually brand new) at snowshoeing, but are avid hikers, so getting used to the fotwear did not take long. The poem accompanying the pictures captures some of the crazy winter-walk spirit... that spirit which I like to think is that thing with which one is capable of becoming drunk...

"Drunken Winter" by Joseph Ceravolo

Oak oak! like like

so sky then;
flea you say
“geese geese” the boy
June of winter
of again
Oak sky

Winter in Mendon Ponds Park

Note: This post features content from a post which originally appeared (1/21/07) on my other blog, My Runner's Feet.

During yesterday's snowshoe race at Monroe County, New York's, Mendon Ponds Park, I kept thinking to myself how nice it would be to have my digital camera along with me on the run. So many beautiful sights, most of which I tried to take a few seconds to capture in my mind, but most of which I could not stop to breathe in. This morning, Anne and I took the short drive outside of River City to the park and stopped the car along the road to take snap pictures in the park.
