Nature Photo Journal #9

Part of my intent is to simply document some of the different details on the landscape that I see when slowing down. The snow provides a perfect setting for seeing animal tracks and signs: an elk trail and droppings, a rabbit run, a small rodent darting between two areas of cover, and a fox crossing a winter stream.

Trees with a snowy backdrop, even on a very grey day, keep catching my attention and appreciation this winter: layers of detail, shape, and color. I also wonder what’s occasionally afflicting some trees.
