A Quest.





Saturday, although the car started first time since we've had all this snow & cold icy weather,
I decided to walk to a Country Feeds store.
Would have been so quick in the car,
 but well aware the side roads were well iced up. 
Although it was quite cold with a slight chilly wind,
the skies were lovely & blue. 
 I took my time & quite enjoyed the trek.





The store had now moved into a much more modern building,
 but it was situated further away.
Fortunately, there was a slight shortcut with a footpath,
& as I looked behind me,
I noticed the  hills in the distance covered with its blanket of snow.





But venturing on . . . .





I came across a well frozen pool of water,
 which would normally be flowing into a stream close by.








At the end of the footpath, the Sun did not disappoint.
 



But in completing my quest,
 the bird feeders were able to be  replenished
with wild bird seed, peanuts & fat balls.

Much needed in this weather.

  2. Wow! These pictures are beautiful! They make a mundane trip to the feed store a feast for the eyes. It's nice of you to feed the birds and critters.
