A TREK AND TRACKS

No work on Friday so I waited until sunrise to go for a walk.

The path by the river had been cleared once,
 but the snow was deep enough to record the passing of...

bunnies...

and deer.

These are probably skunk tracks.  They're bigger 
than domestic cat tracks with five toes and there are marks from the claws.
My tracks at the bottom.  Love those snow cleats.

These are house cat tracks.

Smaller, four toes, no claw marks.

BIG dog tracks.  Probably weren't left at the same time
as the cat tracks since the cat was walking at the time.

  1. Lovely track photographs - one of the benefits of fresh snow is that we can see who has been around.

  2. Skunk tracks- many toes- tiny and cute! No snow here- wind off the water, unpleasant sort of bone chilling cold. With your snow it is probably not a good idea to prowl or peep...your tracks are quite visible!

  10. I don't miss snow much at all, but when I was younger I did love trying to figure out which critters had visited by their tracks. Beautiful pictures.
