Description
This is at the edge of a wetland biotope in the nature reserve near where I live. It's the part accessible to humans, and acts as a safe haven for the local wildlife to encourage them to multiply and eventually take over the area by outnumbering the humans. The ducks are already well on the way to achieving that. They were milling round my feet by the dozens, though none of them made it into the picture because they are very camera shy (or cleverly playing games with me).Perhaps one day when the environment is fully restored, the wolves will awaken.

We live, literally, next to a wildlife preserve but it looks nothing quite as beautiful as this!

"Awaken the wolves
For my dreams have grown too quiet once again
Give me howling of footsteps
As time ambles drunk over tundra-glazed earth
Somewhere in the snow
Are the frozen tears and the teeth that battle broke
Twelve winters ago
When aging was living and murder was birth"
ThouShaltNot, "Glaciers"
Sorry, your title made me think of it. Really lovely photo, as always!
