Tree-trunk Crocodile


 


A small "crocodile" was dozing on the bent trunk of a dead tree. Looking closely, I realized I hadn't imagined  him; the "crocodile" had indeed settled comfortably on the wood, his eyes were slightly open.

***

When autumn will come, it envelops the crocodile in cold and wind but he will still be dozing. In winter,  snow will cover him with a snow-white blanket, but the crocodile will not awake from his long winter slumber.   Spring will touch the crocodile with the warm sun rays, he will squint his eyes from the light, and fall asleep again.  An eternally dozing crocodile.

  3. Curioso ese cocodrilo que parece dormitar por tiempo indefinido y que experimentara en su "piel" el paso de las estaciones. Bien observado.
    Un abrazo Kaya
