Snowshoe

Yesterday the sun was out in the afternoon. The snow was a sugary powder so I decided to take a little snowshoe walk out in the meadow.

Luverboy was the only one who wanted to come with me. He seemed to enjoy it.


The elk were there in the night. As you can see elk tracks in the snow are quite different than deer tracks. They sashay through the snow instead of dragging their hooves.


Here are a couple of elk sitzmarks where they spent the night.

These are tracks with an elk moving slightly faster. That's about an 8 foot stride.


Luverboy's stride is considerably shorter. He finally decided to catch up to me.

So that I could break trail for him.

Ginny looked like she'd been having her own brand of fun while we'd been out on our walk.
