A Walk in the Woods

A heavy snowfall can bring many things. Delays to some, discoveries to others. Yesterday I went for discoveries. The afternoon gave me an opportunity for a short walk in the woods.

Snow covers up many things. It hides much and conceals that which died and fell in the autumn. Beneath the blanket of snow and ice a rejuvenation is happening. When it eventually melts the brown and grey will be turning green. But before that, the snow obscures this birth of new life.

The snow does not only shroud new life though. It also unveils the existence of creatures that the woods conceal from most eyes.

Yesterday the snow was the circumstantial evidence of the denizens of the forest.
