I leaned in close to get an image of frost-laden grass leaves.

Crossed paths
Wet snow fell for much of yesterday. This morning, I saw that a mouse and a fox had crossed paths during the night, seemingly not at the same time.
Tunnelled.
A mouse, or mice, tunnelled through the snow during the days before I took this photo. Snow was compacting and melting by this time, revealing their work.
Trying to help.
Trying to help the songbirds get through a (what I hope is the last) late winter snowfall by generously scattering seed.
Beautiful yet weighty.
A recent freezing rain event left beautiful yet weighty evidence of its visit.
Blizzard.
I’m under a Blizzard Warning. Although the snow has stopped falling, it’s blowing and drifting. It’s -15C (5F) with a wind chill of -27C (-16F). A tough time for songbirds, so I’m liberally scattering seed as well as keeping the bird bath plugged in.
Grey and brown
This seasons’ dominant colours are grey and brown, which is not entirely bad. I feel more grateful, blessed, fortunate, for each dash of colour such as this, provided by our redbud this spring.
Appropriately wintry.
An appropriately wintry scene.
Identified.
After reviewing CCTV footage for evidence of the unauthorized visitor, I identified it. This fox followed a path I had shovelled out then turned, bounding along my footpath to avoid walking in the deeper untouched snow. At this point it stopped to scan the area ahead before proceeding.
Unauthorised visitor.
During my workplace inspection one recent morning, I found evidence of an unauthorised visitor.
