CREA is our "winter church". The light and shadows on the snow,
the animal tracks, bird sounds, ice sculptures,
all magical and awe-inspiring

River
frolicking, laughing, sparkling
powerful, dancing, beautiful
everflowing
whitewater

still-white clumps of cottongrass sprinkling
the heath
batches of needle ice thrusting up out of the
earth along the path
flakes of yesterday's brief snow shower
hiding among the mosses

nomenclature
heath? no, a heath is dry -
it's not a bog either - a bog has no
outlet -
a fen - that's what it is - a mixed
tall sedge fen

Gear to get out - what a spot
fresh air and the one you love
always, we'll be back

so beautiful out here today - feeling
grateful i am able to get out hiking
this time of year - might not get another
chance until Spring if we
end up getting snow - Happy!

deer, hare,
porcupine, vole -
where are the tracks
of the birds in the sky?
