Winter 2014 -  Not too many walks, long or short, with the temperatures so low and so much ice and snow this winter...

Rock Creek Park - January 31, 2014

And Mali always looks up at me...what's next?  is everything okay?

 

A different section of Rock Creek Park - February 7, 2014

 

And then the BIG snow came February 13 and 14 --

My son was up early as the snow was still falling to tramp it down to make paths or tracks for the dogs to manage with it so deep.

 Chi follows right on his heels.....

Mali rushes out to join the fun!

Mali arched her back up to leap into the high snow and go forward!

Does this show how much snow there was in the morning, before it continued through the day?

Well, they know when they go out the front door that they usually are going to ride in the car...so, how do we get to the car?????

"I see the car over there......."

Chi tried so hard to get there, but it was just too hard...

And the snow began again that night....

There was a beautiful sunrise the next morning...and lots of ice.

Mali was out before the sun was fully up...it wasn't easy because it was icy now.
