January 12, 2015 Rail Trail in Winter

I am walking on the completely deserted trail this morning in a heavy mist.  The ice which came with a polar blast and temperatures as low as 11 degrees is melting.

The leafless tall trees reveal squirrels' nest and great clumps of mistletoe in their branches.  The holly trees are full of beautiful fat blood red berries.

Beside the trail lies a small animal with large pointy ears.  A small tan dog with large solemn brown eyes, tiny long toes and claws, formed perfectly and now frozen perfectly in death.

The man who was lost overnight on the Pinnacle Trail of Table Rock State Park has walked out of the woods.
