Posted by Lisa or Li on

 

Alpha, fur sparkling
with new bright snow, calls them in –
old elk, red and still.

    Wolves call to each other and friends – but they do not bay at the moon. Perhaps it is only when the moon is full that we might catch them sound and site doing what they would do… any other night :)
