WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Lost in Details
Crossing from river to half-river
to half-ice half water,
to half-silted half-ice,
is a half-study in details.

Photo by Myra Lambino shot at Big Bear Mountain, California transitioning in the thawing of the snow early last month
(Myra on human interest on snow, details; part of her Snow Series 2013) — thanks for viewing!
Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward when
Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.
The palings are glued together like a wall,
And there is no waft of wind with the fleecy fall.
A sparrow enters the tree,
Whereon immediately
A snow-lump thrice his own slight size
Descends on him and showers his head and eye
And overturns him,
And near inurns him,
And lights on a nether twig, when its brush
Starts off a volley of other lodging lumps with a rush.
The steps are a blanched slope,
Up which, with feeble hope,
A black cat comes, wide-eyed and thin;
And we take him in.”
-Thomas Hardy
