Hermit Santa





The first day of winter brought a nice dump of snow, enough to strap on the snowshoes and hike into the valley behind our home down to the brook below.




There were tracks of mouse and squirrel, lots of deer tracks, and a spot where two deer had bedded down during the storm. 




On the bank of the brook were tracks of a small mammal that had come up out of the water. Not sure about those, but mink or otter are good possibilities.




My destination on this hike was to see the cabin on the opposite bank of the brook that I like to visit from time to time. 

It has not been used for a long time, but retains its cozy appearance, especially after a big snowfall. 

It is very seasonal, and to me it looks like hermit Santa lives there.



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Canadian Maritimes.

We ho, ho, hope all our readers have a simple, light-filled, and peaceful 2025.
