Watch where you step!
We often think of winter as being a time when most animals are inactive – hiding it out, waiting for warmer temperatures.
Besides deer and birds, look what else we found during a lunch-time walkabout at Audubon yesterday… And they were all moving… slowly, but moving nonetheless.
{I don’t know the species of any of them [and I'm too busy (lazy?) to look them up], so if you do – please teach us!}

One doesn’t usually think about the insects in winter, but they are still around.
Yes, snow fleas are driving us nuts!
WOW! Who’d have thunk?! Great shots of those little critters. -karen
