February Walks 2021

March 13, 2021  •  Leave a Comment

I was reviewing what I did in February and I have to say that I enjoyed a number of Winter Walks.  Most of my walking time was along the Fox River that is very close to where I live.

 

The first photo was taken on Feb 1 showing the Historic Mills where Paper Making used to be King using the river power to provide the necessary hydroelectricity for the mills activity.

 

And there are Eagles and an Eagle Nest along this river.  Even though it was a cloudy day, you can see two white heads in the following photo.  Ironically while taking the photo, I only saw one.  And then sorting through my photo, I was able to see the tiny head of the second one.

 

 

The power of the river is evident in this dam.  Where you can see the difference between the where the river can run freely and the dammed portion.

 

And sometimes there were two levels of ice, based on regulating the water level via the dams.  These scene happened on one day during the bitter cold weather in February.  A few days later there was just one level of ice.

 

I've enjoyed my February walks along the river.  I tried to get out walking everyday.  Mainly along the river, but other places too.  Only the really, really bitter cold below zero days were a deterrent to a long walk.  Coldness of hands determined the length of walking on those days.
