Winter days are studies in contrast. Winter sunsets can be glorious colors or dramatic studies in black and white.

Light, fluffy snow is perfect for animal tracking. These white-tailed deer prints show not only their cloven hoofs, but small pointed marks made by an appendage called a dew claw.
Visit right after the next snowfall to see what you can find.
