Walking along a narrow part of the mountain bike trail that runs up to Tassell Hill. Most of the trail would be good for cross-country skiing but maybe not this very narrow section.

The hoar frost on the trees filters the light of the blue skies as I walked along Janis Road on Martin Luther King Day, hiking up to Tassell Hill. While the road is drivable with only a few icy patches, there is something nice about a quiet walk in the woods, observing nature without necessarily motoring.

Looking across Chittening Pond from the back side, via the new mountain bike trail.

Brilliant blue skies made for some nice views off Tassell Hill on Martin Luther King Day.

Bright blue skies, hoar frost on the trees, made for a perfect back drop over Chittning Pond this Martin Luther King Day. Warm temperature meant that ice was too thin for ice fishing, but still provided a colorful backdrop to the deep blue skies.
