Changing Seasons for March 2018 #TheChangingSeasons

Spring is slow to come to my part of the world this year. But I’m not complaining as the winter was not as dire as predicted, and there is almost no snow left.

Most of March has been grey and cloudy, with either snow flurries (that disappeared almost as soon as they hit the ground) or cold rain coming down from the skies.

But last Sunday was a gloriously sunny, cloudless – albeit at times bitterly windy – day. Blaze and I had planned to hike Mount Nemo that day so we were happy with the forecast. Mizz J had to write a paper for school so she couldn’t join us, but her boyfriend Kevin asked to come along and we were happy to have his company.

Kevin enjoyed exploring the crevasses along the trail and finding caves.
I nervously stepped out on a ledge to take this shot of the jutting cliff edge.
Try to imagine how far I am leaning back to try and feel safer taking this shot! I mean, I was watching turkey vultures gliding the air currents BELOW me.

Close Up: Did I mention the fierce and bitter wind?

  1. That photo of your shoe at the edge of the cliff scares me to death! I don’t think it’s the height so much as the awful feeling of vertigo as if I could so easily tumble into the abyss. And yet I’ve been up in a hot air balloon and was okay. On the other hand, once I was in the balloon I didn’t exactly have a lot of choices left.

    It looks like it was a beautiful day for a hike with a friend.

    1. I struggle with that feeling too, Karen. I took another photo seated, with both feet dangling over the edge. That was not so difficult as this shot…until I had to get up again!!! Thankfully Kevin was there, and grabbed my arm to help me get up without feeling there was a chance I could lose balance and tumble over. Definitely helps my fear of heights to have something to grab onto, to anchor myself.

    What an interesting place to hike! You wouldn’t catch me taking a photo so close to the edge, though, in that ‘shoe’ shot.
