.frozen landscapes.

I am in a new landscape, exploring the Okanogan Highlands. It's just been a week. A place I know but only from short visits. I'm excited to explore more, to listen. 

We are still in winter here, but the light is slowly returning and the land slowly unthawing/melting from all the rain. I went out to explore yesterday and found a new trail, a canyon trail. It was so beautiful and vast. My favorite part was the frozen pathway that was slowly cracking from the influx of warm and cold temperatures. The pathway looked like shattered glass to me. There's something so beautiful about this illusion of shattered glass, and the emerging grasses wintered over patiently awaiting spring to come.
