Yesterday afternoon Joan and I donned our “crampons” and went for a hike on Gregg Lake. Bob houses appeared out on the lake on Saturday so we figured the ice was safe for walking on. We meandered down to our camp and around the lake basically used the “drunken sailor” approach to navigation. We ended up at the boat ramp and headed back home via the road; 4.8 miles all told according to the GPS.
I am not sure what small mammal made the tracks but they were quite common in “our” cove and heading over towards the Byron Caughey Memorial Scout Camp.

The photograph below is a two frame panorama… probably more like one and a half. I was not intending to stitch these two frames together when I tripped the shutter and thus did not think at all about “overlap”. However, when I reviewed the images on the computer joining them together seemed right.

Winter Lake Shore
Frank,
The solitary leaf is stunning. The texture of the snow is spot-on and those deep shadows from the leaf add to the overall impact.
The tracks could be the start of a collection of various animal tracks found in your region.
