Surrounded by ice

Surrounded by ice,

oak leaf absorbing the sun.

Sinking deeper down.

Deer crossing

Deer crosses the trail 

On a cold winter's morning

Leaving only tracks.

Solitary pine cone

Standing in the snow

a solitary pine cone.

Waiting for the spring.

Sharing ground together

Growing side by side,

the big and the little trees,

both are sharing ground.

Enthusiastic race dogs

Dogs eager to run

Blasting out from the race start

Enthusiasm!

Running into work

Running into work,

leaving behind only tracks.

Easy on the earth.

Cattail in the snow

Quietly standing,

Cattail in the falling snow.

Old man winter look.
