Winter has finally arrived in northern Wisconsin bringing snow and below zero temperatures adorning all it can in frost and snow.
The sun shines bright but gives no warmth as it travels low across the horizon casting long shadows on the silky snow and across animal tracks.
Water that has not turned to ice gives up its heat in the form of vapor creating a mysterious backdrop.
In the unfrozen waters ducks feed and wait for a spring break.
the cattails of last year stand lookout for next year’s rhizomes to sprout.
A crisp wind blows over a bridge and across the stream biting at my face and hands siphoning the life out of my cameras battery as I get the last 2 shots off, one in color and one in black and white while my mind and body request hot chocolate.
