Wintry Layers and Discovered Games


Walking through our unruly woods
the Rusty Pups and I found
Wintry layers


a snow capped burl


Summery remnants swaying by the stream


We watched the stream still flowing beneath icy coverings


Rusty Pup, Shandy, discovered a new game...
drop a tennis ball in the stream...
then try and retrieve it without diving in and before it disappears beneath the ice.


Luckily she retrieved it each time.
If she hadn't
she would have looked at me with those big sad eyes
and expected me to do something about it!


Snow on ice on water...
More layers
from a very cold tangled woods!

  5. I would have been so afraid RP would have fallen in with the ball! Brrrrr - that would have been a cold dip.
