After the snow storm on Saturday, I went to our local forest preserve, Long Grove's Reed-Turner Nature Center, for a stroll in the woods on Sunday. The snow was knee deep and there was not a single soul in sight. I feel as if the world is mine as the only sound I hear is birds singing and the water flowing in the creek. A Winter Wonderland.

星期六下了场雪，星期天就到附近的森林公园去踏雪。只见鸟语嘤嘤，水声潺潺，雪深及膝，寒气逼胸。好一个北国风光！

Reed-Turner Nature Center on Sunday

I went deep down the valley and saw deer trails by the creek.

Shot with an ND filter, hand held with my butt in the snow.

I am sure some drops of this water would reach the Great Ocean some day somehow.

My squirrel seemed surprised I took his picture.

More of his reactions below in comments.

后院的松鼠见到我给他拍照有点害羞。
