After several days of snow the dawn broke onto a new landscape

my studio workshop laid buried under many a deep layer of snow

Deep and crisp and even snow blankets the Birdhaven Studio Workshop, Woody Creek, Colorado elevation 7,300 ft

I took a rake to the roof and cleared a path to the door but didn’t disturb much else

tromping through the thigh high snow with huge snowshoe strides until I eventually cut in a steep sided path crisscrossing the entire garden

just what got into the sculptures I really have no idea

how they orchestrated all this, again, I have no idea

The Eastern Portal of Birdhaven finds itself mounted by a polar bear. Inner Strength looks on with casual indifference, as does the Snow Topped Totems.

I just strolled around enjoying the show…
