Harsh Hand of Winter

Grey Squirrel scratching in the snow for a few sunflower seeds. I wonder what critters think about snow when they see it for the first time? I know critters don't think like we do but you have to wonder what they experience when they encounter snow covering their world. Life suddenly gets alot harder just to keep warm and find food.

 "In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."
       Albert Camus (1913-1960): French Algerian Author, Philosopher, Journalist

Winter's Embrace

"And finally Winter, with its bitin', whinin' wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow."

         Roy Bean (1825-1903): Saloon-Keeper, Justice of the Peace
