We headed out for an early morning hike at Tolmie State Park, where the temperature was below freezing, and frost was everywhere. American Widgeons and Buffleheads flocked up as we walked along this sand spit. There was a 3 mile trail in the forest, which meandered through old cedar groves and leatherleaf ferns. We hiked through it, eventually taking off mittens, scarves, down jackets and scarves. By the time we returned to Tolmie Spit, shadows covered the lagoon.
