Here, now, everything was deeply green to the point of blackness; there was snow aplenty, trying its best to cover every inch of the forest floor or cake the branches of the pines to the point of bowing. Two-toned everywhere. Where the sun could creep in, there was a dangerous shine to the snow.
The man had learned upon entering to avoid the sunny patches and keep himself aware of the transition of the sun in the sky. It wasn't his forte, being mindful like this, but it would save his ankles in the long run. He'd already found that the sunny patches were where the ice was most prevalent.
This was a tricky place. He had come to get out of the snow, yet found more and more, to the point that some paths had been hidden entirely from him, or the ice had become so packed he could not bring his broad body through.
He thought to turn around, this man, but when he did he saw only more of the same: black pine, white snow, shimmering ice and the aureate glow of a winking winter sun.
