This is my entry for the @tattoodjay's Wednesday walk challenge.

Winter has already receded and it is time to talk about the first spring walks, but I still have not finished my stories about walks in the winter forest. I think that I will have to try to finish with these stories in the coming days so as not to delay with them until the summer ...

And today I will begin my next story. This walk was a month ago - March 9th.

This time was windy day. When we arrived at the ski base, the flags along the perimeter fluttered heavily in the wind.

But we knew that there was practically no wind in the forest and rushed there.

On the way, we saw women with a stroller and a child.

It can be concluded that this forest is a popular place for walking. Although, of course, few strollers go as far as we do. Most often in such places we meet only skiers and snowmobiles.

I must say that this time we were two families. As many as seven people. Our route began in an already familiar place. Here we always ride down the hill.

But this time we did not stay long, because we planned to go to a new, longest route.

As usual, we walked past two lonely pines.

Here, on a hill free of forest in summer, tall grass grew. It can be used as a foreground for a photo.

A large company to walk through the forest is even more fun ... Our group stretched for several meters. I go behind everyone and try to shoot this photo essay.

As usual, we are moving to familiar places.

I forgot to mention that among us there was another one walking - this is a small dog. The dog got off the trampled road, and my son decided to follow her. And immediately got knee-deep in the snow ...

In general, the dog was very difficult to catch in the frame, so about her in this photo essay there is nothing. Although she had a lot of fun for us and our children during the walk ...

My daughter loves her to ride on a snow scooter in turn different people ...

Then, like last time, we turned into a ravine and took another route.

Due to the strong wind this time the snow in the forest was covered with needles and branches. I liked how this thread looks and I took a picture of it.

There was a steep climb ahead ...

And behind it the descent and another ascent ...

Shortly before us here passed a skier and left characteristic traces.

Here we also took a breather after two climbs.

While the girls are resting, I shoot everything around ...

After a rest, we headed on. Ahead of us was a long descent, from which we took turns descending on snow-scooters and tubing with children. This time I did not have time to make a video.

After the descent we found ourselves between forests of different tree species - pines and larch.

While we were descending, the sun looked out for a while and I decided to take pictures of the shadows of the trees in the snow.

Here I will finish my photo story for today. I will publish a sequel in the coming days ...

I strongly recommend to open the photo in a separate tab to appreciate it.
