What lurks in the shadows?
The last hopeless remnants of a rigid frozen state. Isolated holdouts hide deep in the woods clinging to the only thing they know. A cold hard existence.
Some will leave no trace left behind
Others, pooling together will linger in a more fluid state.
But even the iciest holdouts will soon pass to the other side.
Old Man Winter’s crystalline restraints are no match for Spring’s warm embrace.
I just had to get that out of my system even if it meant a double posting today. I liked the images and thought they might give you an idea where some of the mossy rocks in my head come from.
Old Quill Story:
Today’s hike got turned around pretty quickly. I found something I wasn’t prepared for and needed to carry it by hand. I figured it wasn’t too smart to continue tripping around in the woods and risk either breaking it in a fall or setting it down to photograph something else and forgetting it. I did what I normally don’t do. I did the sensible thing. I turned around and took the easy way home.
What Lurks under the leaves?
You’ll have to come back tomorrow to find out. I will not be releasing the identity of the previous owner of these teeth until all graphic evidence of this discovery has been processed. But I’m happy to leave you guessing with this photographic clue. It should give you something to gnaw on while you’re waiting.
Tomorrow’s post will also include reasons for proper tooth care. Viewer discretion is advised.

Very nice mossy rocks.(-: Of course I love rocks(-: I collected several nice ones yesterday and a whole bucket of moss to make a little moss area(-: I hope it works and the cats stay out of it…(-:
The toothed animal is a rat or squirrel? I think I have one somewhere that I collected too(-: It looks like that (-: They do not have good dental hygiene.

I watched as the snow in my forests melted away to nothing. It’s now all gone, even in the dark corners.
And I know f one kind of toothy animal like that. They have a fondness for gnawing at trees, and changing the paths of rivers.

My guess was porcupine. I searched your archives for a former photo of yours of porcupine teeth, but could not locate it. I Googled Porcupine Teeth, and Google took me to your former photo. I’m now absolutely convinced that is the very same porcupine you previously photographed only now the flesh, hair, and quills are absent.

Fantastic photos … not sure who or what that tooth belongs to.

Everytime I have the pointer on your picture, it prompts me with “porcupine teeth”. Is it a hidden joke?
But the first look tells me she is a little girl who iswearing skirt and standing in a jungle.
