Snow Angels

[Loupey]

The story written in snow was virtually invisible in the overcast mid-day light - almost stepped on it actually before I knew what it was.

Returned with a strobe to bring the image back to life.

Wing prints?

Lovely shot. Serene and ghostly.

looks like a bird of prey swooped down and caught a small mammal then struggled with in on the ground for a bit.

Love it!! Nice capture indeed!. Unfortunately we didn't get enough snow in that last cold front here in Florida to make any snow angels ;)

Very neat shot Loupey. I enjoy seeing wildlife tracks in the snow on my winter walks.

Thanks, everyone, for looking and taking the time to comment.

The scene you described is something I've been looking for quite some time. Long meandering tracks of a mammal through the snow punctuated by a struggle at the end.

But unfortunately these are simply the impressions of either robins or mockingbirds as it was directly under a small berry bush that I've seen them eating. I had to move branches out of my face to shoot some of these.
