Reading the winter

The snow recorded a crow walking in a spiral

Tracks shallow and deep

I'd basically given up on tracking this winter, since the snow is so deep. But here, in a public path in the zoo, a striped skunk left these beautiful marks in the fresh powder.


I was struggling to identify them, then I came across this set on top of the deep snowpack. That simple short shuffling stride is clearly a skunk.

Livejournal, you know you'll always be my first social media love. But time moves on and tumblr has moved in. The best sign of that is here, my tumblr friend ofwordsandwaltzes (they do long names over there) visited me at work! She even stayed to socialize with the zookeepers at movie night. Brave woman to meet and hang out with a dozen strangers on the spur of the moment. Thanks for visiting, it is awesome to know you!
