We've all been there one time or another. Every year winter seems to last a little longer and the summers go by a little faster. This winter has been especially long. This was taken with a pocket camera I purchased a while back. It is a Nikon Coolpix S9500. I thought I would take it out for a test spin and see if I could gain some traction for taking photos once more.
According to my grandson this is known as Poachers Road. He said it is also a favorite spot for the youngsters to go muddin'. I asked him if he had done either on the road. He admitted to one. I didn't push the issue. What you don't know won't hurt you.

“Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.”
That's a pretty graphic image of what I have all winter this year. It's just missing the ice that hasn't had a chance to melt off after a few days. I've had ice spikes on my boots since mid November, and Blue has to stay in the sanded trail I made for him. Think it's time I moved to south west New Mexico.
Your road is even more treacherous with drop-off's on both sides.
Most of ours just drop off on one side.
Anyway, your new camera did a nice job on this, and it's obvious you made it home. Two wins and zero losses, Tick. Well done.

Grandkids!!! Gotta love 'em....lol
This would be a great sledding hill if the road wasn't traveled! And yes, its a good one for muddin, but I hope your grandson didn't do that! Cool find and shot Ticker!!!

Life is too short. Live wisely.
You are so right Tick...this winter has been loooong.
I am so looking forward to the pitchers and catchers reporting..I think it is approx. 22 days?
When that starts, I know it won't be toooo long before we are warm again. :)
Take care and nice capture with the pocket camera.
**Edit...Tick we can call this the long Road of Winter :)

By the looks of this image your Coolpix is performing beautifully... although it looks more like March mud season here, I agree this winter is already too long... we're in the middle of a blizzard right now.

Coolpix is working just fine for you, TicK. It's been a rather mild winter, yet rainy here in Italy. The entire weather systems is screwed up. Hang in there.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Talk about being in a rut! Lol! Tick that new camera did a good job on this one my friend, looks good in the detail. I just keep thinking spring!!!

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured">
Poachers can come sliding down that slope! A good winter shot Tick.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
LOL, love your narrative. The camera and you did well with this - nice work.
You are having a long winter and we don't know how long our summer will be because it has not started yet ! It seems to have passed us by somehow, and there are a lot of children on their 6 week school holidays driving their parents demented as they succumb to cabin fever.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

OFT (Owd Fella Tick) I enjoy both your image and narrative. Reading the latter one, think that all grandsons behave themselves in a rather similar way. When my 3 grandsons are staying at my home, it wouldn't be the first time that they come back completely soaked and muddy. From educating point of view I have to say something (in a gentle way), knowing that I've done the same in my childhood, lol.
The image of Poachers Road is a good accompanying one. It visualizes your story and stimulates the imagination to interpret it in a proper way!
Well done Ron!
Regards, Cornelius.

I stole your great idea, Ron... about 4 years ago. 8D And I'm hijacking it for a future contest idea. Hope you don't mind being an inspiration. -Nik

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Thought we were in for an image of deer doing the naughty but no, it's a wonderful winter image. The composition is wonderful and your narrative is well up to scratch.

"Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people." W.C. Fields. So I bet you'll go over to see My Gallery.
I've been enjoying my Coolpix L820 Tick - bought as my grab n' go and have been very surprised - this steep slope speaks volumes as to this winter I hope it's downhill from here but somehow doubt it - a very good capture that speaks to me!

Looks like a great place to go sledding! I'm sure you will get enough snow sometime this winter to accommodate all kinds of sleds. Good shot, Tick. I can't seem to get much motivation to go out taking pictures, and I don't even think a new camera will do the trick.

Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
I can certainly relate to this one, both being in a rut and the long winter feeling...I also know a little about unintentional muddin' but that's another story and one I don't wish to relive any time soon...great perspective and detail.

Dear Customer Service: First of all, you should know I am typing this with my middle finger...
I imagine come springtime those ruts can get quite a bit deeper if it's anything like it is around here.
I see no deer in the scene, so you might want to check his rifle and see if it's been cleaned recently. As for the other, check the laundry basket.
A good perspective and composition of the scene, Tick.
