I went to New Ross to visit a friend. New Ross is a small community between the valley and south shore area. Anyway, I put on a pair of snow shoes and headed into the woods. I always figured I would be awful at it but it was surprisingly easy. and fun. and a real work out.

here they are on my feet. they are the old type of snow shoes. Note the baling twine holding the left one on

Here I am half-way along the trail. still upright. the 'house' behind me is a hunting camp in the woods.

Looks like it would be fun.

Looks like you had fun. We used to play snowshoe baseball as a kid, I think it was a volleyball we used. Now I have the new plastic high-tech snowshoes, great for trudging through the bush in winter.

yes it was a lot of fun. could really feel how it helps loosen up the hips and strenghten the thighs and core muscles.

I think will put the high tech snowshoes on my list. It will open up so many more opportunities for photography.
