Snowfall, Mustatatuck National Wildlife Refuge

It was a cold wintry day in southern Indiana as I took the driving route around the marshes and lakes at Mustatatuck National Wildlife Refuge last Winter. Visiting a wildlife refuge in all four seasons is great, but especially when it has a few inches of snow on the ground in Winter, it really is a treat.

So if you live near a park, a forest, a wildlife refuge, a nature preserve, or for that matter, a seashore, pay a visit on those cold, wintry blustery days.
And perhaps you will capture scenes like these of the beautiful woods with the tree trunks covered in a blanket of snow or the Tupelo Trees in the marshes sitting in a bed of snow topped ice. It's like someone took a salt shaker and gave it a good long sprinkle. It really does make for a fun day. Although I do remember I had to be a little bit careful where I drove so as not to get my car stuck somewhere and have to hail a ranger for assistance. I understand from some of my friends in New England and parts farther north there is a significant snowfall on the ground right now. It's enough to make me wish it would snow. ENJOY!
