Young Love in Winter
Young Love in Winter Today was thirty degrees and overcast. We haven't hiked at Asylum Lake for a while so we took our walk there. We had only been at the preserve for fifteen or twenty minutes when the sun began breaking through and it became a gorgeous January day. We skirted the northern edge of the prairie and headed down the hill to the lake. There were seven or eight guys out ice fishing and as soon as Gracie spotted them she wanted to join them. By the time we reached the access beach there were only a few wisps of cloud in the sky and the sun was quite warm. It was a magnificent day for a walk and we met a wonderful young couple walking along with their arms around each other. I took quite a few pictures of them and promised to print copies for them. it turns out he visits Al Sabo every night to keep track of the water level at the land bridge, and they each work at stores which we frequent, so we will see them again. In fact, we'll look for them- they were both very nice ....and she was adorable! We spent about an hour and forty minutes at the Preserve, and Gracie hunted mice and went wild on the prairie as we trekked through the center of it headed for the car. I was a little surprised there weren't more hikers in the warm weather, but there was a breeze that had some sting in it and that might have kept people away.

Heh... and won't they be surprised where their photo ended up... No, no, they're quite unrecognizable. And once again I thank you for the nature walk photography. Had a chance to hike recently -- nothing much, just a little jaunt along the cliffs of New Jersey, overlooking my much-loved island -- but I had it vividly reinforced how much I enjoy the activity...

I'd like to spend some time at the Palisades myself. The East often gets short shrift for natural beauty since the west has those long empty vistas, but I like the Eastern United States. Imagine how lovely the island must have been once....New York is a beautiful state, and northern New Jersey, too. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Is Gracie pointing at the couple, the fishermen, or the red berries? We made it to 60 degrees today. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Where do you think the phrase "I'll huff and I'll puff" came from? It wasn't about sniffing glue and smoking dope. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I wish we would get some sunshine here in GA. It's been gloomy and rainy for over a week. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

When I lived in the country I did that too. We're on different sleep cycles and sometimes I walk our property late at night. I'm glad you reminded me of that- I haven't hiked at night for a long time, and I might just start now that you brought it up. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Asylum Lake is a very interesting name for a lake. Do you know how it got its name?

Well, I look like a Pillsbury Doughboy crusted with dirt when I get all wrapped up for hiking. Definitely not the Dos Equis man. We have inner beauty, that young man and I. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
