Mom and I went for a walk at the Old Cedar Avenue Bridge last weekend. We went walking there in the fall, but we wanted to see how it would be in the winter. I tell you, it was very cold. The wind was blowing hard creating really big wind chills. Still, we managed to walk around for about half an hour. Can you see, I didn’t want to even sit in the snow by the time we took this photo.
At first our walk was pretty nice. There were only a few cars in the parking lot so we had the place mostly to ourselves. The trails are nicely packed snow which we like a lot.
We found a lot of big trees that were down. I think we always run into downed trees and I don’t know why. I enjoy climbing on them, so that is what I did for a photo.
Once we turned to walk the other direction, we got the real wind. Boy it was super duper cold. Mom’s hands were freezing and I didn’t really want to sit in the snow anymore at all! My behind was chilled.
We did find some interesting fungi on some downed trees. I guess fungus lives year round. The stuff we found was only on this one tree piece, but we like the look of it.
As a last stop on the way to the car, we had to get a photo of the bridge in the winter. Originally we planned to walk over it but with the heavy winds, we decided to get back in the car, and keep on driving to warm up. Maybe we will visit again on a warmer winter day.
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard is for their Nature Friday blog hop.
that was a good idea to go back to da car… such strong winds can blow you to oz…
They were so strong and cold.
That looked cold! Maybe I’ve got the good life here in Florida. Have a wonderful weekend. XOXO Sparkle
None of us like the heat and Mom doesn’t either, but sometimes the big winds are almost too much cold.
I don’t know, Bailie, I think that walk looks like cruel and unusual punishment for both of you!
It was fun with the wind at our backs 🙂
It looks like you could have frozen. Go home
It was pretty cold but we didn’t stay all that long and the car was warm.
It’s a very pretty walk but we’re glad you got back into the car to warm up!
The wind was brutal.
Looks so cold, but you’re so cute. I love all bridges. They all have a story to tell.
Have a woof woof day and weekend. Scritches all around and my best to your mom. ♥
We love bridges too. They are always fun.
Brrr! It looks like a cold day! That bridge looks super cool!!! your friend Lilly
It is a nice bridge but we will go back on a warmer winter day I think.
I’ll bet you were glad to see the car, you do look really cold out there!
Yes, we were happy to hop in and get warmed up.
Bbbrrrr….It looks cold!! We do love that last picture of you in front of the bridge!!

Thank you. It was a nasty wind when we had to walk into it.
That looks way too cold. A picture in the spring or fall will be much nicer!
We love winter and winter photos, but the wind was really bad that day.
Another time might be better, although you look beautiful every day.
We will go again on a day when it isn’t so windy.
Brr…you guys were very brave to face those harsh elements. Cold and snow are one thing but wind…nope, nope, nope.
Wind really ruins everything. Mom says we have a lot more wind than there used to be.
Oh, Bailie, you and Mom sure are brave. That looks way too cold for us, but we sure did love seeing you, as always. 🙂
We love winter but the wind really was brutal.
