In Alaska, you will see no goose
Swimming on open waters
Because the temperature is a
Minus 32 degrees and
Everything is frozen solid
The moose are having trouble
Traversing through the snow
So they travel the railroad tracks
The trains have to slow down
To avoid serious moose-train wrecks
Eventually, the moose skitter off
The tracks until the train passes
Then they resume the easier trail
To capture this on film would be
A wonder but it has been done
It is incredible to see but in
In times of need, everything is
Possible and life goes on. We
Must praise God for instinct or
We would never survive. Today
It is 25 degrees in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan and the
Sun is so bright with the reflections
Of the lake that it is blinding
And you have to block it out
In order to see. A tale of two northern
Locations that are both cold
But in this case 60 degrees apart
I like the U.P. but the sun is
Maddening when you are trying
To write. Later, of course, we will be
Wishing for more.
