Finally winter is showing signs of retreating, although there is still plenty of snow on the ground.
My stroll around the Cross Conservation Area this afternoon might have been just as easy with snowshoes, although I had chosen MICROspikes to navigate the snow-packed trails. It was a hazy day with clouds building from the west, so very little long-distance views - a perfect work-out for my new camera! Here are some pics:
