Brooke Gubacz had a young partner skiing with her recently at McLain State Park and from the looks of it, they both had a good time and were able to see some wintry beauty within the Park.

That first picture looks as though they may have had an obstacle to find a way around, although the little purple skier probably was able to ski right under that fallen tree. Speaking of trees, what an amazing snowy coating on the stand of trees in Brooke's third photo. It truly looks like icing or maybe whipped cream dripping down the branches.

More amazing winter beauty from the Keweenaw!

What a great way to spend the day!

That looks like so much fun. I am a sissy ,I guess. It has been too cold for me to ski and snow shoe. I do look forward to a warmer feb though. great pics!

Looks like fun. But I'm with Judy. It has been way too cold for me to do anything fun outdoors. Today we started with 26 before I left for work, and by the time I came home at 3:00, it was down to 7 with way below zero wind chills. No thank you!

Mary--those pictures remind me of a song I learned in kindergarten
many moons ago. It went like this--"There's snow on everything I
see, On every bush, on every tree. It's such a very lovely sight, Like
birthday cake with frosting white." Did anyone else learn that song
when they were young?


By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Monday, January 20, 2014 - 09:39 pm:

Never heard that one, Kosk, but I like the words.
Mary, I was thinking the same thing about whipped cream on the trees. Thanks for the neat pix, Brooke!
Thought I was going to have to ski a bit today ~ my backporch steps were clear but there was snow on the sidewalk at the foot of the steps ~ but thankfully, my 2 canes kept me upright.:>


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Monday, January 20, 2014 - 10:09 pm:

I never heard that one Kosk. Sure does apply, though.

More great Winter scenes.


By Marianne Y (Marianne) on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 - 07:10 am:

I love your winter pictures, Brooke. I miss seeing your posts on Pasty. I hope you are doing well! Thank you Brooke and Mary.

I always thought cross country skiing would be fun and a fun way to get some exercise, and to check our fences.


By Brooke (Lovethekeweenaw) on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 - 05:45 pm:

The day we went out it was pretty nice, about 30. So we didn't freeze. We went out again Sunday afternoon and the temps had dropped and we got a little cold. The snow was still clinging to the trees so I was happy.

Marianne, we are doing great. Thanks!

can't you use one of your snowmobiles to check fences?


By Janie T. (Bobbysgirl) on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - 04:36 am:

Yes, I could use the snowmobile, but what's wrong with exercise? absolutely nothing!


By mickill mouse (Ram4) on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - 06:36 pm:

when you said 'I thought', it meant you never tried it for whatever reason.

And it is a good way to get some exercise.
