We’d just gotten about 6″ of snow and I was itching to get down to the creek to paint. Guyer Creek winds all around the back half of my property. All the ash trees have died, thanks to the Emerald Ash Borer. When I bought this property back about 15 years ago, the trees were all healthy. After they died, the land became one big swamp. It was difficult to get back to the creek, so I had a wooden walkway built. Today I loaded up my dollar-store plastic sled with painting gear and pulled it along the boardwalk, down to the creek.
Thank goodness for Smartwool socks, good boots, long underwear and a goosedown coat!
The end of the walkway. From this point on, it was just a short hike over to my painting spot:
Ah — the perfect spot to hang a wet canvas carrier!
The sun popped out for about 5 minutes towards the end. Tomorrow’s supposed to be a little bit sunnier, so let’s see what happens…..

So sad about the ash trees and the borer. That thing has gotten down into our area.
Your swamp path is glorious! Glad you can get out and paint even on snowy days.
