First Walk of the Year

We spent New Year's morning traipsing through the woods in Rock Creek Park. Beautiful light, lots of logs for climbing, and icy puddles for cracking...it was a very good way to start 2014. And here's a peek at one of the winter walks we took in Switzerland. I never thought I would be such a fan of winter walking, but there really is something special about it. Things are pared down and details come into sharper focus without the distraction of the colors and textures that flourish during the other seasons.
