Walk on a snowy morning

Shenandoah River State Park

On the last night of my three day stay at Shenandoah River State Park in February, snow flurries were predicted for the next morning. I woke up and fixed breakfast just as snow started to filter down from the gray skies. I had planned to drive up into the mountains to visit Elizabeth Furnace, but the flurries turned into fast falling, large flakes which soon turned the ground white. Not a good day for a drive in the mountains. I grabbed the camera and went for a walk in the snow.

The snow fell rapidly. It had been snowing for less than an hour when this photograph was made.

 It was still snowing when I returned from my walk. My little travel trailer looked lonesome and cold, but it was warm inside. I made a nice, hot cup of tea and watched the snow fall outside the window until it was time to fix lunch.
