January Snow Sculptures

In the bleak slush and freeze, slush and freeze, of January, I take my miracles where I can find them. Today I found them in Bloomsburg, in the form of snow sculpture, like this snow stupa (?) (or castle? or 2-story igloo?) at 432 Main Street. Almost big enough to be dangerous! Note the snow barricades...

And at the library, I found this dragon curled around the base of a tree.















The librarian at the front desk tells me it's the work work of a Bloomsburg Public Library patron named Badger, but I think that's probably a pseudonym. (Who, I wonder, is the masked mammal who can make creatures out of snow? )








It's a friendly dragon, sans teeth, but with claws and a wonderful sinuous tail (see details below. )

Perhaps it is actually the work of a Badger. Certainly no wolverine would sculpt a toothless dragon... But a stinking badger, well, that's another thing. Lovely entry.

lovely entry. clearly, though, this is the work of a badger and not a wolverine (or else it would have sharp fangs).
