The weekend in black and white: Tracks

I took these shots Thursday morning.

 After the sleet and freezing rain Monday night the surface was so hard that there weren't any tracks and only a few breaks from my boots.

 Wednesday was sunny and the melting began to be followed by a brief snow so the next morning prints started showing up.

 The dove in the middle shot was waiting for me to add some warm water which I did but it's so cold today the birds have to be quick because it is refreezing too fast. I'm giving them bath and drinking times but can't keep up with it as much as I normally do. The first shot is of bird and squirrel prints and the last one is my boot.

    Love those snow tracks! Great photos! We are being told by the forecasters that there is a 100% chance of heavy snow tomorrow in our part of Virginia.

    The squirrel prints look as if snowflakes have been stomping about in boots.

    Poor birds and squirrels -- you could have a full-time job in that weather just trying to keep the water unfrozen.

    The tracks on snow look attractive.
    Hope the bird can survive.
