Twilight... Chubby snowflakes are falling, obscuring the western woods from view. Just returned from an hour's snowshoe, where we made new trails after last night's snowstorm. I imagine we'll be out again tomorrow at this rate, clearing again.
Today found two distinct trails: one of white-tail deer and the other of a coyote. Amazing to see the extent of their leaps as they run through the deep snow. How deep? Approximately 2/3 metre I'd say.
No sounds in the woods save for the breeze in the white pines which cause puffs of snow to cascade to the ground. Chickadees for a while, but we soon passed them, heading into the silence of the woodland.
Peaceful.
