2015 began with a gift of fresh snow.
One of my favorite things to do after the snow has just fallen is to look for animal tracks! It's rare to be able to see most of the animals that stay hidden from our sight but the tracks give them away.
In seeing these tracks, I could imagine the deer that crossed this road...
..and the bobcat that walked across this wall.
I've never seen a raccoon in our yard but he must show up when we aren't looking.
Then there are the tracks which I don't recognize...
We saw our first fox a few nights ago! The photo isn't very clear but the memory of him coming down the hill and pausing to stare at us as we peered through the window is sharp.
The animal tracks disappear quickly under the tracks of people, cars and dogs. Finally, the snow starts to melt erasing them completely.
Until the next snow falls.....
