Fantastical

November 24, 2018  •  Leave a Comment

While there's a suggestion that a warming spell might be in the offing soon, it hasn't arrived yet and my morning trek along a familiar path—to the millpond and back—was an exercise in walking fast enough to keep frostbite at bay. Below the waterfall, there was plenty of ice sculpted by the spray and frigid temperatures into a variety of  fantastical shapes. I'll leave it to you to decide what you're seeing. All I can say for certain was that the resident Great Blue Heron, which has been a frequent denizen of the plunge pool from which it harvests young Brook Trout, was elsewhere, perhaps taking a cue from the low temperatures and heading south.
