Recently, at sunset I came upon these snow critters.I am amazed to see all the wondrous forms that snow can take.
The chant of the wolves rises and falls
as the light of the moon
shines and disappears again
through the night's clouds
as the light of the moon
shines and disappears again
through the night's clouds
have you heard the wolves sing
their song makes me stop everything
to step out into the night
their muzzle must be held to the sky
in order to reverberate
as it does through the forest
always I wonder what are they doing
what inspires that enchanting call
for it takes spectacular events to make me
howl
like when large slabs of ice
and snow
slide off a roof
crashing into the snow below
crashing to the porch:
to step out into the night
their muzzle must be held to the sky
in order to reverberate
as it does through the forest
always I wonder what are they doing
what inspires that enchanting call
for it takes spectacular events to make me
howl
like when large slabs of ice
and snow
slide off a roof
crashing into the snow below

I love all the shots and the ice shot is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe ice shot is awesome! I love shots that make you scratch your head and say "How the...?" or "What the...?" or even just "...?"
ReplyDeleteWow...beautiful as usual. And those icicles!!! Coooooool...
ReplyDeleteI had to look at the icicle picture twice just to make sure that I was seeing it correctly. Isn't it amazing what Mother Nature can do?
ReplyDeleteNr3 is amazing! And you have a cool chair.
ReplyDeletethere is so much to photograph around you. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning! The icicles are mesmerizing. The poem enchanting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a great cabin in a nice location.
ReplyDeleteAre the wolves releasing tension, past sorrows making their way to the surface because the anguish was attracted to the light and lightness of the moon, or were the wolves howling in celebration of the beauty that surrounded them in that particular moment?
Wow those icicles are something else, really amazing shapes and forms.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting, much appreciated, glad you liked the shot.
The icicles look like dragons teeth to me. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Like your critters, too. Here in Norway there are many snow troll in the wintertime; they gobble up unwary cross-country skiers as afternoon snacks . . .

Wow! Those icicles are impressive...and dangerous!
ReplyDeleteGreetings friends!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to come home from a day in town to all these wonderful comments.
So glad you all enjoyed those wicked ice cycles. They were wild and I have only seen them once and when they crashed to the earth you can bet I did a dance and howled!
Mr. Natural Moments,
I still am not sure what those wolves are saying when they howl like that, but I do know i love it, like something is right in the world. But if you want to hear the latest news from Bush and his clan:

Brian, they were indeed dangerous teeth, I had to be careful where I walked till they came crashing down!
I looked at the link you included, wonderful piece of art! We call them snow ghosts here! Thanks.

ReplyDeleteI like the ice icicles at the porch. Looks like the wind was blowing as they were forming. Made for unusual but pretty.
