Just A Dusting

OK. Winter can be done now. But nooooo...today we're due for a "dusting" of snow. So far:

 But the snow makes for good fox sighting. Here's the big guy in my neighbors yard last week.

With the snow on the ground you can see where he scaled the chain link fence.

And made his way across the yard...

 I had just opened the front door, camera in hand, to take a s now picture when I sighted him as he crossed. He saw me and put on more speed before I could react. I went out and followed the tracks.

 Behind the row of evergreens to the corner of the fence and back into my yard...

 Past the shed and under the blue spruce...

 Through the boxwood row and into the field...

 Down the path....

 Back out to cross the field...

 Into the brush....

 And out....

Finally into deep cover where I could not follow. I could see the older tracks he had made on the way into the yards. He seems to have a routine path. The last snow I saw him playing in the snow in the field but he was too far away to get a good picture. Maybe next time.
