Masterpiece Carving!
My heart goes out to these two miniature ivory Ptarmigans.
Perched on an ice floe, they are peering over the edge of their rocky "boat" planning their next move.
Should they stay put and ride it out or lift off into the sky and leave their small piece of "land" behind?
The innocence of this piece is heart warming.
