Footprints in the Snow

The other day when I crossed the snow covered lawn to take the shortcut to South Street and then on to the post office, I saw footprints that I don't usually see at our place.  We live right in the residential area of town, just a few blocks from the center of business activities.  I was sure that I was seeing deer footprints!

Today my backdoor neighbor asked us if we'd been seeing the deer that has been crossing our yard each evening.  No, I haven't seen it, though I'd love to. But I did notice the footprints.

    I see rabbit prints every morning that we have snow. I'd love to see deerprints. :)

    I thought that was pretty neat. I should check to see if the deer has been eating the flowering kale. It usually stays nice until really hard winter sets in. I know that something ate the kale several winters ago and I thought then that it was deer. They get pretty hungry some times.

    I like to see the little bird footprints in the snow. They are so delicate and such interesting patterns they make.
