Here in London, however, it's just not part of the landscape. The winters are just wrong - the snow never gets deep enough for long enough to cultivate a track - and most folks are into hockey.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, I'll enjoy the magic through your words and images. Thanks for taking us along.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, also, for your offer. If you come across a copy of the NYT, I'd appreciate a scan - but please don't expend any effort or expense. Your offer is very kind.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1170526702139295042007-02-03T13:18:00.001-05:002007-02-03T13:18:00.001-05:00I love downhill skiing, but have never engaged in ...I love downhill skiing, but have never engaged in the cross-country variety. In fact, I have never really wanted to as it always appeared to me like too much work. However, after seeing your pictures, and hearing you speak of it, I'm starting to change my mind.

I got another solid workout this morning--we're under blizzard conditions--but that didn't stop a neighbor and me from going out through the pasture behind our houses and to ski around the cross country run a few times--it was wonderful even though the wind child was probably -15 F or so and actual temp around 5 F. <BR/><BR/>Midori, nice picture of your city, where is it?

Seems you got a solid workout skiing and battling the harsh weather.<BR/><BR/>Not sure if the photos only loaded up haphazardly on my browser but you may want to reposition them. Though it is no big deal. And that's a breathtaking photograph of the pond and an equally stellar photograph of the stream and swans.<BR/><BR/>As a warm weather Californian, I must say I am envious of your winter wonderland. Though I find 60 degree weather a bit unpleasant so who knows how I would handle snow temps.
