Awake!



it seems early for the bears to be out of hibernation


but these certainly woke up and took a walk
~

I am thinking two different bears


They might have gone back to the den....


what do you think
black bear or grizzly?

Winter Morning


within the breath of winters frigid air
ice crystals grew among the lichens hairs


spruce needles adorned 
in icy charm


as the morning sun lit up the clouds
they circled like a crown at the tips of forest trees


bits of snow
sat like tiny icebergs
casting long shadows 


domes of snow
showing the beauty
 the grace of lines
 

looking up from the tiny world
a
grand view

So Much Snow!


in the past two days
snow fell from the sky
19 inches


much more snow is predicted
in the next day and a half: 20 to 34 inches
time will tell


in my woods 
I sink to my knees!


the little birds all fluffed up
seem fine


my pond has been frozen and snow cloaked since December 5th
usually 
it thaws and freezes 
on and off all winter
 
wahoo winter!
