Winter walk to Green Turtle: Snow shadows and tracks

The shadows this time of year are very long. Etched against the stark white background of snow they seem larger then life.

I was the only person to go down the forest path since the snow. The pristine surface so far had only been broken by the tracks of forest animals. Sometimes the shadows were combined with various animal tracks. These I think are rabbit.

These are possibly geese or swans.

Crossed paths!

Some tracks eluded me. Like these. A drunken mouse perhaps?

Other shadows were just interesting to me.

And to conclude, my prints and my shadow. How I hated to disturb the surface of the snow! Somehow it seemed as though I was an interloper here, but these woods know me well. They don’t always welcome me, but they know me.

About

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
