Icy universe in the gutter

Keep looking

Calli the Wonderschnauzer and I weren’t looking for wonder when we stepped outside the other morning. But wonder found us, anyway.

It was in a rather unassuming place: the gutter in front of a neighbor’s driveway, just a couple of doors down. Our pup decided this was where her nose would first explore, and the impossibly tiny patch of ice pulled her in.

I don’t know what goes on inside her schnu head - goodness, what I’d give to find out - but it must be a happy place where tiny bits of ice on dirty pavement represent her best experience of the day.

Of course the moment called for some spontaneous macro photography before we continued on our way.

Of course I’m thankful I get to follow her around as she discovers new wonders by simply following her nose.

Of course any day that starts like this is destined to be one worth remembering.
