Today's also the 12th - the day we have fun snapping pictures of the day as we participate in Chad Darnell's 12-of-12. So, off we go to our favorite place - the Erie County Forestry - for a nice hike. It was 40-degrees today and a little rainy, but that didn't stop us.
First, we make our way to the top of the hill...

So peaceful... we had the woods all to ourselves.

Now we're home... snugged up inside with a nice fire and mug of tea...
A View from the Porch:
The start of December brought our first significant snowfall of the year. Since then, it's snowed on-and-off, leaving us with almost a foot of snow. You wouldn't know it today, however. The rain and temps in the 40s has made everything a soggy, melty mess.

So, that's the end of the 12-of-12 for 2010. I am happy to say I was able to participate every month this year! I'm also happy that Chad is going to continue the 12-of-12 tradition at least another year.
All the best for a happy & healthy holiday season.
See you next year!

Nice nature pictures!
It seems like it was raining/snowing all over North America yesterday!
Have a merry holidays time!

That looks like a gorgeous walk. I am jealous of the fire!
What a wonderful walk you took. Thanks so much for sharing it. Have a wonderful Christmas. See you next year.

I´m looking forward making a walk like you did!

Awww, love the pics of the dog in the snow. My mom's dogs love the snow so it reminds me of them. Happy Holidays!
Hi Jill, lovely photos. We've had snow overnight here as well, a proper little winter wonderland. You definitely had the right idea there, feet up and a cup of tea in front of the fire.
Have a great Christmas, see you in 2011 :)
Wow-so beautiful-but if you want to see some significant snowfall and a country in chaos, come to the UK now! Well, that's if you can get on a flight-all the airports are closed!
Happy Christmas-see you in January!
I love the fire photo - very cosy! And the walk looks lovely and quiet through the snowy woods :-) Hope you, the family and the pups had a lovely holidays!
Sorry my comment is late - I wanted to wait until my own 12 was up, before I visited everyone else's.
