On a winter walk
down my block
A dusting of snow
shows which way to go
Fences of wood, wire, and stone
divide us, and leave us all alone
Daggers and spikes form
along edges once warm
An ancient one awakens
speaking of directions not taken
On a winter walk
down my block
A warm sunrise glow
shows which way to go

A wonderful gallery on a snowy walk, Siobhan! My favorite, though, is that final photo with the fiery sky.
Thanks, John! We get some spectacular sunrises and sunsets here.

Thanks, Ritva! We had freezing fog for a few days in a row. It's great for photos.
Excellent Siobhan! I loved your wintery scenes which are so rare in our area. And that is an amazing sunrise.
