In still, silent air, my daughter and I went for a sunset walk. We did the walk a couple days before and saw the single line animal track, shared below, and we thought it was a fox’s. Today we saw what we thought were deer, a dog or coyote, and rabbit tracks around our previous tracks. These tracks make me wonder how often animals cross our trodden paths and without the snow telling the story we are oblivious.

It’s amazing how good a walk can make you feel, especially when you can surround yourself with trees, and observe the natural world. Walks work to lift your spirits. They brighten your day, even as the sun sets.

Here are a few photos from my evening walk last night.
