 Sun hiding behind the barn, farmhouse on the right.
 Shadows of the roofs upon the snow.
Snowshoe tracks at the back of the farm.
 Trees and their shadows on the snow.

Perhaps rabbit tracks in the snow.

Melting Ice and Snow

Nice weather at the moment.

The snow is still deep but melting now.

This is Clark's Pond in Ballardvale village.

I went for a short walk on the Skug Reservation trail.

I kept falling through the compacted snow.
 I was rather nervous walking across the
snow covered bridge over the Skug river.

Melting ice on the Skug river.

Long shadows on the snow as the sun set.
