Honing my tracking skills.....

It snowed an inch the other day..... and was light enough to shovel without worrying about my wrist.. which is not much better..... so, out I waddled...dressed for warmth not for fashion.  We love to dress up funny around here... nobody would recognize us AT all.

Lovely, ...new pretty snow.... the sun was shining... sky blue... and even if it was -21C... I was too warm in my Michelin man outfit... til I rounded the corner and headed into the teeth of the breeze.  Then it had a bite... 'n' I was glad of my big, puffy, down coat and sheep skin lined mitts.

I take my camera out in a pocket... always..   you just never know what you might see.  My friend got a shot of a moose wandering through her yard.  Mind you, she does live out of town... but, I have wildlife too, even inside the city limits.  We see coyotes, pretty white bunnies racing the cars along the street ... well, it seems to me that's what they are up to anyway... man, can they go !  Cheeky little fluffy squirrels... scolding from the bare branches or hidden in the spruce so you only hear them... can't see a thing.  The beautiful huge Canadas flying around in twos or fours...or huge Vs ..... honking and chuncking.... why didn't they go south?  Probably because people feed them...

What's your best guess? .... let's hone our tracking skills....

Squirrel.

Bunny  .... making trails... long before Easter.  They have some regular runways diagonally across the back yard... an occasional coyote trailing them into the hodgepodge of footprints... run, bunny run!!

Big Foot... Sasquatch....  no wait.... oh.... just the postman..... but, at the very least..he did bring two overdue Christmas cards.... which I happily displayed immediately and which will sit for a week or two on the dining room table.
