Farmers fields, affected by the Kentucky flooding looked like river ways rather than hibernation plots. The forest topography seen through the snowy woods was now 3D and you could see the sharp stone cliffs that usually disappear in the foliage.
I am fascinated by the water that freezes from between layers of rock along highways creating ice icicles. Decorating the edge of the highway so elegantly.
I love to see all the trees, the evergreens, surrounding by leafless sentinels, some bare, some sporting snow shawls. Silent and majestic.
I also love the ponds, in various degrees of frozen states. It’s all just magical to me.
Then there are the animals! Yesterday I saw a farm with more than a dozen Shetland Ponies! They were darling!
I saw a farm with Bison! (They have been a favorite since I was little.)
There was one field that had something in it, but I wasn’t sure just what.
I drove slow so I could see. I thought they were turkeys, but I had never seen so many. There had to be about three dozen. As I got close enough to be sure, and there was Tom right in the center of his close knit community with his tail feathers all on display. He was huge! I was very impressed!
I saw squirrels at the lake. I am always surprised at how different squirrels look wherever you go.
And I passed fields with groups of deer. So many!
I was glad to see them. They tell me ‘it’s a perfect day’. They’re so beautiful.
I was also very glad they weren’t too near the roads I was driving!
This girl from the desert may never tire of all Mid West Winter Wonders!
It was a PERFECT DAY!
