Ann Christine has given us Lens- Artists #107 Challenge Winter. While I may think photos of winter are very pretty and picturesque winter is not my favorite season. I do not like the cold. I do not like driving in icy conditions or heavy snow. I do not like riding my horse in the cold either. But I will have to adopt a better attitude because for the first time in 12 years we will be here in Canada all winter long. Our usual escape to Florida has been cancelled due to Covid. Here is our Winter Wonderland.

I’m not a big fan of driving in winter either, Anne. And like you, I’ll be in the deep freeze this winter. But maybe I should go back to snowshoeing and cross country skiing! I’d imagine that horseback riding would be absolutely chilling in the cold. I’m especially drawn to your header image. The light and colors are beautiful.

Autumn is a wonderful time for hacking out into the forest. But I have not done it in winter for many, many years. But I am determined to do it this winter. I have a quarter sheet for Biasini to wear to keep his hind end warm. The farrier will put special snow attachments onto his two front feet which are shod. I am getting thrmal underwear and have a good down jacket so we will go for it. If there is ice then we cannot go outside but I hope to be able to get out once a week. The rest of the time we are in the arena training.

Winter is beautiful, might be only for the look

Yes. Shovelling snow and scraping ice off the car windows as well as getting dressed into multiple layers of clothing and scarfs and mittens is what makes winter harder work. The horses too have winter blankets for the cold

Sounds amazing. I have to almost force hubby to go to Treasure island. Now his legs are so weak he just wants to be close to home.

Hang in there Susie. I saw you got walks in the beach and you have to keep your own mental and physical health up. So carry on!

Lovely – and I love winter when it is real winter. I also love the interruption with going away to a warmer place for a week or two! Hope winter will be OK and not too cold now that you have to stay in Canada.

The snow in May is not usual. But this year we had snow overnight and by noon it would melt. But it is a loooong winter.
