back at it……..
free of the vortex
trekking beside phantom tracks
joy of snowshoeing
~ trailblazing ~
watery eyes,
runny nose,
freezing fingers,
burning toes ~
poles in hand,
laces secured,
ratchets tight,
crunching……. sounds…… underfoot ~ ~ ~
such a wonderful time ~ ~ walking in the snow ~ ~
with trails ahead
and
a smile in tow!
……… just purchased a pair of snowshoes – so much fun!!!

frigid
“
so brutally cold
the wanderers keep looking
no warmth to be found
death waits with a steady hand
compassion opens its door

Dear Mr. Frost…

sweet sting of his kiss
cheeks blossom like red roses

Being cold is NOT an excuse for NOT being stylish….

My trademark ears require protection…
big ears need big protection

Ready to attack mommy the arctic blast!
Mommy talks about this guy – Single Digit – I do not know who he is but I do not like him. (My stumpy really does not like him – does LL Bean make cold weather stumpy gear?) He does not play nice. It’s all okay – Mommy protects me and my parts from mean Mr. Digit 🙂

Today is the day we play Weekly Pet Challenge – come play with us!
a breath of nature

unrelenting force
both wispish yet explosive
whistles and rumbles
paradox of strength and sound
quite simply – the blowing wind

You cannot see it, but it is very windy……..
Terra Mater

power in her voice
a mighty strength in her touch
determined vixen
her charms render men useless
to be feared and respected

She is Mother Nature.

snow
falling
from the sky
each flake unique
each flake delicate
each flake so beautiful
with a brilliance unsurpassed
a tiny package of wonder
bestowed upon the earth from above
though brief, their life captures our attention
