Reader Photo: What the frog said

Photo, haiku and composition by Pepper Trail.
December 23, 2023

Ashland resident Pepper Trail reports that, “As I was hiking in the Oredson-Todd Woods today, this photo-haiku came to me. … To paraphrase Maya Angelou — at 70 years old, I know why the cold frog sings.”
