Snowfire

To celebrate New Year's Eve, my monkey friend Spike and I decided to revisit a ritual we performed in the beginning of my photographic career. First, we hollowed out a snowbank to make a comfy cave. Then, we gathered sticks and made a fire! Sitting there, eyes trained on the fire and mind deep in thought, was a lovely way to bid 2010 a fond farewell and welcome 2011 with open paws.

 

In fact, Spike and I were so comfortable in there that we fell asleep and when we awoke this morning, we saw lots of little footprints around the ashes where our fire was. I suppose there must have been some traveler who came by during the night to enjoy the warmth of our fire...

 

Anyhow, I hope you all had a good new year's eve... and happy 2011!

 

EDIT: The mystery has been solved! I found on flickr an explanation of the little footprints!
