Sunday was so sunny we just had to get outside. We headed to one of our favorite summer places, which is also pretty great in the winter too...
We bundled up and set off on the hiking trails.
...along Lake Ontario,
...along the creek,
...and through the woods.
These tracks had us puzzled at first until my very observant husband noticed the huge hoof prints that went with them...
They were from a horse drawn sleigh...I could just imagine what fun that must have been!

Hot cocoa was the perfect ending.
What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! My Australian brain is trying to wrap itself around the concept of snow beside the ocean. I was expecting sand, at first I thought it was whit sand. Wow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, even if it is winter!
ReplyDeleteLovely!

That just sounds like the most divine thing to do... I felt like I was along for the ride. And, the pics were just so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, Your pictures are very pretty. I'm wondering where exactly you are here, I've been up to Olcott, is it anywhere near there? I know you are in Lockport, I'm in East Amherst, love to meet with you sometime, I've followed your blog for a long time and enjoy reading and viewing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day with a wonderful ending! Thank you for sharing your pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou are teasing me with images of snow, I haven't seen real snow for close to 30 years. As it is I can't wait for it to start cooling down, I am so over Summer.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful time! I loved the pictures!
ReplyDeleteMy family is so blessed that we have horses and a sleigh at our disposale through the winter! (and a buggy in the nicer months) The kids love getting bundled up in their snow pants, hats, boots, coats and gloves and take a ride on the sleigh! :)
What a great place, it so pretty! I bet your hike was so fun.
ReplyDeleteLovely. x
ReplyDeleteNice - love the idea of a horse drawn carriage - how quaint. Sounds like it was a perfect day.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how very little snow you have! You are so lucky to be able to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Wouldn't a horse drawn sleigh ride be a perfect way to explore those woods?! Brings to mind Robert Frost:
ReplyDelete"Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow."
Lovely pics of the lake. Grew up in East Rochester, my sister used to live on the lake in Ontario and my brother loves in Hilton. I still love the Rochester area and miss Don's Originals, Abbott's custard and the Red Wings. Thanks for sharing the pics.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful photos. Blue sky, blue water....I want to live in that cottage and ride in the sleigh! Thanks for sharing your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAs always, so lovely. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Lake Ontario looks like a different world in the winter, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI found many interesting things, especially in your blog discussions. You can use a small transformation of the blog layout though, but the overall design is very good.
