It finally became cold and snowed on the same day. It was time for the return of fuzzy hat! I asked Lydia to take this picture so the fuzzy hat was on full view. (I meant just my back up, but she got my butt. And it looks pretty decent, if I must say so myself.) I think it's the hats third winter. My sister Barb made it for me and I love wearing it. Sometimes I forget to take it off.
Since Lydia had to go to the credit union, and I had to go to Staples/Dollar Tree, we picked the two paths at Monocacy Park. The nature trail has a new sign box built as a Eagle Award project. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, Boy and Girl Scouts keep these trails going. This one was way overdue for a sign. Trial markings would be helpful also.
At times the trail gets really close to the waters edge. There were one or two spots that I could have easily fallen in. But I didn't.

Locks on the pedestrian bridge like at the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris. There are many more than the last time I was here. Of course, they have removed the ones on the Pont de Arts bridge because it was so heavy the rails could break.
The waterfall over the dam. No ice yet. Not cold, long enough.
