Snow-kissed
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
--- Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
This deer was lightly snow-kissed too. But she's prepared for it in a heavy winter coat. I've noticed these last two times I've seen deer how heavy their coats are compared to the sleek ones they have in summer.
