Ventured outside finally!

Woke to wonderful sunshine this morning, and a return to some colder temps.    decided it was time to get outside for a bit of a wonder!   with grippies on my boots, walking pole and camera, Chance and i headed up the driveway!   The ice was pretty well everywhere....sheer ice!   the grippies on my boots give you some grip, but i was still very nervous about the trip back down our rather steep driveway.   made my way down very gingerly, then headed over the pond.   It was actually lovely to sit by the frozen pond, listening to the ice crack as the water moved underneath, and take a few shots!
