Agreed. I have great winter gear, including a parka, so I walk everywhere (it’s a lot faster than warming up the truck and the cold starts are hard on it), but I make my walks quick and efficient, especially when I’m taking photos!
Thanks, Linda. We do get a lot of sun in the winter, even if itâs extremely cold and the daylight hours are short. But this is my last subarctic winter, and though Iâm happy about that, I find myself appreciating the beauties of it a little more carefully.
Haha. đ Yes, a good description of that experience. I call it âlung frost.â You breathe in and then start to sort of choke because the cilia froze. I wear a traditional parka with heavy fur around the hood which cuts out much of that issue (especially with the addition of a scarf). But the frost-encrusted eyelashes can still be a problem!

That does look like one of those days when you breathe in and your lungs wonder what on earth just happened. But so beautiful.
