The return of winter


As with the rest of the nation severe winter and below zero temperatures came this week.

One of the dormant gardens resting under the snow and ice.

Our pond is solid and in motion as it is spring fed.

Poppy walked across our pond as he always does every time it freezes.

It has been very dry and not much snow. Even this light dusting was dry like sand.

Osa on patrol for hungry coyote and larger predators. My pack has thick winter coats that protect them. But with this below zero temps they have to come in at night until it gets above freezing again. 

I love this photo of Poppy on the thyme. The textures of his coat, the plants and the ice. Poppy loves to nap on this pungent herb even when it is frozen. He always smells of dog and thyme.
