I would move like lightening too if I was walking around barefoot in the snow 😊 Actually I do when home. After 34 years of going barefoot in the Amazon, I have almost no feeling in my feet. But the cold doesn't look inviting at along. Kudos for being out in such temperatures taking pictures. Nice catch.
