Your tiny tracks
play hide and seek with the winter wind.
They appear before my own prints
and are swept away from behind, made invisible.
I wonder at the significance of this–
Picking you up, I climb the
steep steps slowly one by one.
It’s a little hard to appreciate how small they are because there isn’t anything else pictured for scale. But the prints looked so lovely by themselves, I let it go. They are really very small. I’m used to large dogs (which I love) and these little prints amaze me every time I see them.
Little doggie. I love tracks in snow. They always have a story to tell. Who was sniffing what. Which way did the mouse go? What’s a bear doing out at this time of the year. –Curt
Lovely, but I need a break from our winter wind. 2.5 days of relentless wind at a steady 30 mph with gusts up to 50+. It settled this evening. I welcome the silence.
cute little gem of a poem.

Actually, my son took an excellent photo of her paws. I might just have to write something about them so I can feature that photo!
