18 degrees and a brilliant blue sky

I took a hike this morning past Tom's Run Shelter.  I bushwhacked from the Appalachian Trail where Tom's Run crosses the Trail near the Shelter.  Because of the rain last week and the snow melt the Run was higher than it usually is at this time of year.  The sky was a brilliant blue and it was cold - 18 degrees.  Most of the pictures I took this morning were of puddles with ice forming on them.  I particularly like these two photos because of the pools and the waterfalls and the ice.
I actually met a bunch of cold-looking hikers who had slept on the Trail last night.  They looked pretty happy though.  You can't beat walking in Michaux.
