Snowshoe tracks
This is what Deadman's Pond road in Gander looked like the morning I snowshoed that snow covered road. Note my snowshoe tracks in the left side of the picture. That morning was so crisp, sunny and clean air that I was in no hurry for the walk to be over. Just a wonderful, peaceful feeling!
Early morning silver thaw
The winter offers fantastic opportunities for some great pictures showing mother nature at her very best in art forms that can't be beat. The picture below was taken on a recent snowshoeing hike on Deadman's pond road, Gander showing a silver thaw on the bushes in the early morning sunlight.

Lunch Again
The snowshoeing hike to Gander Lake was very exhausting and we looked forward to having some refreshments and lunch. Here Clayt Hann and Gerry Gray enjoy the moment, nice camp fire going and surrounded by the beauty of nature
Gander Lake Hike

and I hiked on a woods road located about 10kms East of Gander. This road was very good for snowshoeing, although the snow was very soft, making snowshoeing somewhat difficult. This pictureshows Eric Button and Clayt Hann making their way to Gander Lake, which is in the background. This turned out to be an adventure type picture showing the beauty of the snow season.

Snowshoeing
Yesterday, I hiked to Butt's Pond with Eric Button on snowshoes. It was really cold, about -13 with a windchill about -20. It was fairly good going to Eric's cabin, where we had lunch. Got the woodstove going and a kerosene heater. In about 30 minutes the place was getting comfortable, so Eric put the kettle on and we had tea, along with smoked kipper on Barb's homemade bread. The hike was about 45 minutes each way and giving us a good snowshoeing adventure. Pictures coming later
