Another day of errands in North Conway with Chico on Monday, so we went to our favorite in-town walk, the Audubon sanctuary behind LL Bean’s outlet store.

The path was broken, or so I thought, but the tracks veered off and I never saw them again. Walking in loose snow is like walking in soft sand – work.

But so very worth it in the beautiful afternoon light.

If one can appreciate the stark, linear, beauty of winter, the season passes with less stress. Or so I have found.
