SNOW CATS

"The very fact of snow is such an amazement. " 

                                            -Roger Ebert

Snow Cats........they're everywhere.

They appear in winter to watch the Thrush

Hide under  benches, dripping with snow.

 Cooper's Hawk  Finds them intrusive. He's hunting.

"Just silence and snow.The stars. The moon. The wind. Blankets of pure snow." -Damien Echols

Thrush hops on the frozen bird bath.

And the snow cats watch from their silent places.

Deep in snow they wade.

Trying to catch frozen snacks

"Snow is not a wolf in sheep's clothing...It is a tiger in lamb's clothing."-Matthias Zdarsky

Could also be a cat in lamb's clothing...

A cat who waits in the snow.

In the dense whiteness.

When it is time to make snow angels.

There is a cat.

Sweet Simon

In the snow. In the hedges. 

The Snow Cats  plod and pad. Quiet and silent.

 "The branches of the trees had frozen solid, reaching out white fingers of glass that would shatter in any breeze, or chime like musical bells. The world looked strangely magical. " -Alex Nye
