Rebel Girl's middle-aged winters in Southern California are sure different than those of her girlhood in Los Angeles. Then she saw the snow from an impossible distance - these days it is her seasonal friend. Some photos from the long weekend. Forsee Creek was fringed each morning with lacy ice.
After a good snowfall, Rebel Girl and her little guy get up early and follow the tracks the animals have left behind. It's a bit of detective work that finds them crawling under trees and bushes and trailing the river as they trace their steps and try to identify them.
And now, a poem:
Winter Trees
by William Carlos Williams
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
