We had a scattering of snow on Friday, so around lunchtime I wrapped up and went out to see if there was any fun to be had.
One of the pleasures of a fresh covering of snow is the chance to lay down a trail of footprints, and to follow other people’s. (Unless that’s just me being childish!) Finding this bird print pattern in a quiet part of town was a small treat. Two or perhaps three visitors had left their traces on the pavement before me.
I wonder what the next by-passer must have thought to see this scene with my jumbled footprints layered on from stopping to take a picture, then skirting around it as I went on. I never thought to look back.

Oh that does look like fun, I would definitely do that if snow came around more often where I am 😊
We don’t get it very often – not as often or as deep as I remember from my childhood. Of course I was smaller then!
Great capture!
Thank you!
A singularly enchanting photogaph.
I’m glad you like it.
Look like turkey prints…
They look bigger than they were – around blackbird sized.
You have left your own chapter to the story
Yes – giant footprints!
🙂
Thank you for this beautiful photo! I miss snow. And I appreciate your eye for the natural world and kinship.
My pleasure. Thanks for leaving such a kind comment.
It’s beautiful.
Thank you!
Footprints in the snow are a favorite winter phenomenon, one I don’t see very often here in the Pacific Northwest. So thank you for this! I love the way they lead us on.
The snow melted within a few hours. I was glad to have the chance to go out and enjoy it.
Great observation and composition!
A little treat left in my way. 🙂
I absolutely love tracking in the snow! Figuring out what sort of animal left the prints and following them. One of my favorite times was following some bird tracks that led me to the spot where they flapped their wings and took flight. The beautiful imprint left by the feathers 🪶 was glorious and the tracks simply stopped there.
That must have been a wonderful sight.
That’s a good abstract portrait. It could remind someone of cuneiform.
I hadn’t thought of that but yes.
