The snow was coming down and so I hoped for a very quiet meditative walk this morning. It was quite pretty but the noise never let up. The snow wasn’t hard enough to discourage the planes and then it seemed that everybody decided to go out for donuts. The road traffic was far more than usual for a Sunday morning. Finally when quiet came, there came this horrible noise. It sounded like a pack of dogs tearing into a flock of sea gulls. The birds were screaming. It was just awful. Then I got over to the park and found the sled dogs. They were the source of all the noise. There were no gulls, just excited huskies who wanted to pull a sled. It was a demonstration of dog sledding not gull slaughter. There were far too many people to take a picture of the dogs. Instead a photo of the one moment that it was peaceful out in the thicket.

Ciao!
