After a week with the long, rented lens, I headed out into a snowy urban woodland in -10 temperature with my usual camera.

Moccasin Trail Park lies just west of the Don Valley Parkway south of Lawrence:

After a week of visiting places where I knew that there would be much wildlife, there were no birds here and not even a squirrel.

NATURE POETRY

When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy’s been swinging them.
But swinging doesn’t bend them down to stay. – Robert Frost
