I had my Pentax W80 in the woods with me today, so here's a better version of today's picture (and if you look here you can see where these pictures are taken from).

Snowy Saturday!

Finally some snow- not enough for snowshoes yet, but maybe tomorrow? 32F and snowing steadily.

Happy adoptivesary Holly!

Staff shopping day

Back from the mall after our annual staff shopping and lunch trip :)

Cool and damp, 42F. They have finally been up with chainsaws and cleared most of the upper trail (they did the lower trail a couple of weeks ago), and while it makes walking the dog less of an obstacle course it does mean the mountain bikes will soon be back :( Oh well, most of them are OK- and as long as they don't complain about my dog being off-leash I won't complain about them ;)

Never Gonna Happen

It's Not Me, It's You

Friday day off walk :)

Rainy and cool, 38F, but I don't care coz I have the right gear, and Holly doesn't care coz we're in the woods :)

Trying out another pair of earbuds- Yurbuds, designed for runners- and so far they show promise! They have weird rubber things on the ear buds that you sort of screw into your ear, but they stay put and they let in ambient sound so I can hear Holly's collar tags (and the naughty mountain bikes that sneak up behind you on the trail!), and they don't isolate so I don't hear all my bones creaking ;) They sound pretty good too, but all speakers and headphones need a "burn in" period, so I'll report back again in a few weeks- but so far I'm very impressed.

Saturday stroll

Brisk and cool, 37F.

I'm trying a new pair of "in-ear" headphones, and while they sound very nice they are really too good at sealing out the outside world- I can't hear the jingle of Holly's collar-tags, but between tracks I can hear all the creaks and groans my body makes! I think I shall have to keep looking for the perfect dog-walking headset :/
