There's been a dramatic change in the weather. On Friday, the majority of the schools in the county were closed due to freezing weather. It was -20° with wind chill. Today we broke a record for a high temperature 63°. It was definitely time to get out and take some photos. I chose to try the Brickstone Trail which I've enjoyed before. It turned out to be somewhat more treacherous than I imagined. The first part of the trail is shaded, and it was still snow-covered and quite icy. By the time I reached the bridge, the trail was clear, and the walking was much easier.
I have to admit after the first four photowalks were a lot more interesting, and it was a lot easier to find interesting subjects. All of them, of course, occured while we were traveling. Nonetheless, although not very colorful, here is a look at western New York during a January thaw.
I have one more image to share, but I'm saving it for a Winter Scavenger Hunt post which I hope to have up by the end of the week.
