April 10, 2016. 25 degrees. Snow lingers on the crunchy frozen earth. I dress for a February hike. I should be looking for spring wildflowers, not animal tracks in the snow. Ah well…
In addition to coyote tracks, we saw tracks of deer, rabbits, squirrels, mice, fox, turkey, and more. We also heard grouse and saw deer. We visited the beaver pond and watched a goose try to swim away making tinkling noises as he broke through the ice.
There were wildflowers, though. And domesticated ones.
Skunk Cabbage
Daffodils
This in April. And in December I could have photographed violets and dandelions.
Weird Weather.
A Passion for Nature 
Oh, so disheartening. It will melt soon though, right?
I see beauty in your photos. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada. (snow here as well)
