Multiple types of Human prints, stretching into the distance on a frozen pond, with white pines bordering the edges above Grey Birches, Red Maples, Cattails...

Cross country ski tracks in the hardened snow shell on the pond. White Pines in the distance.

A snowshoe trail and my shadow stretching away across the snowy pond toward White Pines on the shore

Lowering sun over the lake

#Assabet National Wildlife Refuge: I like to step off the trail when the snow is deep. With a floating step that never pierces the snowpack, no plants are harmed. Plus, walk on H2O!

I took hundreds of pictures of White Pines (Pinus strobus)!
