Yes, I still have EVEN more snow photos to share even if it is Spring. . .

More . . . going thru Leverich Park. . .

A generous  portion of snow for these fallen branches/trees. . . makes for a nice contrast with the rest of the scene.

Just around the bend and I am out of Leverich Park. . . Just a few more photos of my snowy walk.  Then, on to other photo memories. . .NEXT POST. 

One of my favorite scenes -- clumps of snow waiting for me!

After crossing St. John's Road, the path follows Burnt Bridge Creek BUT this time the creek will be on my right as it ambles eastward.

Not too many people have walked on this part of the trail YET!

Snow like puffs of cotton growing on the branches. . .

Logs in the river with a faint cover of snow left on them. . .

 

Looking to my right  at Burnt Bridge Creek.

One day soon, I will finish the trail and show you some Spring photos along the remainder of it.  I hope you enjoyed seeing the only day it snowed for us this winter.  Since I love snow, even the smallest amount is wonderful to me.

Yes, I still have more snow photos to share even if it is Spring again . . .

Housing just before Leverich Park where the trail passes heading east following Burnt Bridge Creek. See, Malyss, there are homes here.  It is not all country on this walk.

Found this clump of snow on the branches fascinating. . .

Sign showing that we are still on the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail. . .

The stacked stones make an interesting pattern with a frosting of snow on each layered edge. . .I  like taking photos of this type of stuff -- kinda like steps. . .

Another bridge over Burnt Bridge Creek as it winds south.

Snow covering the moss on the post of the bridge. . . the river in background.

The river runs  along the flatlands/prarie in this area.

 Anyone for a picnic in the snow?  Walking this trail is fun in different seasons.  Having a bench or a table to eat your lunch before continuing on the trek is a welcome site in sunny weather!

Winter fun and a few snowmen sited. . .

 

This is in the parking lot of Leverich Park on the western border. . . These two boys have rolled the bottom snowball for their snowman.  It took all the snow on the parking lot!

They are rolling their beginnings of a snowman closer to the grassy area where they can add the  other two layers for a terrific snowman.  I just didn't want to wait until they were finished or I might not finish my walk before dark.

Older kids playing a sort of hockey game in the snow.

More snow fun across the snowy covered grassy area. . . 

Group of kids enjoying building their snowman.

Definitely an original snowman design!

I know that Spring is now here but it's good to have photo memories of past seasons so I have a couple more posts of my snow day walk yet so come back for more while you are enjoying your own beginnings of Spring.

Yes, I still have more snow photos to share even if it is Spring. . .

The trail meets the freeway here so I must cross a land bridge to finish the walk on the trail across the freeway, leading through a park and then more forest.

Almost to the land bridge over freeway. . .

If I go to the right here, I meet Main Street and my home is about a mile down the road but I am not going home yet. . .

Looks like a lot of people have already crossed the freeway to the eastern part of the trail. . .

Once across the freeway (above it) one needs to travel backwards and then forwards on a winding trail to get to the  trail again.  The blue skies remain with me.

 

Couldn't resist taking this shot with the  snow caught between the grasses. . .

From the trail, a snowy shot showing the grasses under the trees.

The trail winds down through a neighborhood of houses before it reaches Leverich Park. The Parks and Recreation Board in our city wanted to make this trail go from one part of the city to the other, reaching across town.  My snowy walk only takes us  through part of the  trail.  I love snow but it gets dark and cold here in winter and sometimes I have to  stop BUT not yet. . .

Tracks on the turn around. . . peopel have homes in this area and you can only go through on the trail which doesn't allow cars. . .

I leave you today with more tracks. . . will pick up tomorrow walking through Leverich Park and  a few snowmen because children know it is the thing to do when we get this white stuff no matter how little!

Continuing my snowy walk on Burnt Bridge Creek Trail . . .#3

The river is closer to the walking trail now.  The snow is touching its banks on both sides.

Another view of the river and  the shrubbery along side it.  I was mostly aiming for a photo of the branches close to the river but the foreground weed branches give the photo a lot of contrast too.

The trail passes over the river where it runs to the right of the walking path.  At first, I thought about just taking a photo of the bridge but wanted to show the river's path so opted for this shot.

Once again, the river runs on the left of the trail.  The Burnt Bridge Creek trail follows the power lines where no homes were allowed to be built . . . or maybe I should have said the power lines were installed along the path of the creek and that area is public access so when the hiking group in our town wanted to make trails that were safe to walk or bicycle on, they chose this path the city already had rights to the land.  In the foreground, the path jogs to the right again as the land belongs to another farmer. Remember, Vancouver was built around many kinds of farms and is still a city with farms within its limits.

To the right of the trail is an open piece of land near some homes and businesses but not sure if this is a park or someone owns the land.

Just another shot along the river trail.

Snowy trees in the distance in the same area as last photo.

Enough snow to enjoy but not too much to envelop the grasses. . .

I like the effect of snow covered steps so with this, I leave you until another day for more snowy photos along Burnt Bridge Creek Trail which runs through most of our town.

Sharing is nice -- I couldn't see a branch untouched!

The river runs further from the trail and more snowfall on the land is visible. . .

This branch didn't want to share its snow covers!

A glance back at where I had traveled from along Burnt Bridge Creek Trail. . .By then, the truck that checks the trail for safety had been through too.

The perfect blue sky serves as background for the white branches laden with snow.

More tracks along the trail. . .

Beautiful snow everywhere!

Another frosting of snow  on the branches. . .

Farmhouses in the distance, beyond Burnt Bridge Creek and the trail.  This area has a section of flat, grassy land between the river and the trail. I think I would enjoy living in that area!

Looking the other direction of the snow covered flats with the river on the left out of site.

More farmhouses on the other side of the river and flatland.

When I get around that corner of the trail, I have another bench to rest upon if so desired.  I don't need a rest on my walk but will pause here with photos until next time when we continue my photographic journey.  I hope you are enjoying our one 24 hour period of snow this winter.
