Evidence of peak hour.

I like this, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Ray. Grand Central Station!

Way to cold, great capture
Mary MacADNski: It's brisk and refreshing. You have to keep positive.
I started to laugh heartily when I saw your photo. I also have a large backyard that has trails of little paws criss-crossing each other. Too funny! grin
Mary MacADNski: This is only one section and these are dog tracks. The other side are bird tracks, which look something like this:

Very busy indeed Mary. I like the perspective here!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard. They look like flight paths.

I bet they hated walking on the snow too!

Mary MacADNski: This is mostly from the neighbour's dogs who come every day to see if I've fed the crows anything that they might like.

You must have the welcome mat out
Mary MacADNski: I spend a fortune on bird seed and the crows get all the leftovers but that's all on another part of the yard.

My toes are tingling Mary.smile
Lovely shot.
Mary MacADNski: Ha! A beautiful sunny day with light, fluffy, fresh snow. Nothing like it!

I recognised the fence and trees from last years pics as soon as I saw them. Lovely snowy capture Mary with all those footprints.
Mary MacADNski: It's an unbelievable spot - heaven on earth.
Here it is foggy and grey. This looks so lovely even if it is very cold. Love the footprints.
Mary MacADNski: Wasn't cold then, but is now. Most of N America has felt this over the last week. We get it at the end.

Trespassers, Mary! One appears to have had a sudden change in direction.
Mary MacADNski: Friendly trespassers - the neighbours dogs who are wondering what I've fed the crows. they come by most days, once or twice.

Remembering you fox pictures I thought it would be them. But I see you say they are dog tracks. Must be why the tracks tend to visit trees. You know by now I like these snow pics - a great one.
Mary MacADNski: I have resident crows. As soon as I feed them, the neighbours dog who lives further than you can see, seems to smell the crow's food and comes to see what is out there to steal. They come by once or twice a day. They're both girls so they don't pee on trees but there is always less snow around trees and the dogs know that so head toward them.
