The black and white world


Even the animals are black and white, like the ermine (sounds like vermin) in the picture above.

It was running past the window towards the house when J saw it.  Jr.  just got a mammal book for Christmas, so he identified it right away.  He/she was so cute, scampering across the snow.

Later I found prints going around the house and to the wood pile.  Must be some tasty snacks in there.
  

Very light feet

I heard you guys all screaming downstairs but chose not to investigate.

Got a photo of one of those a couple years ago. What a thrill it was for me.
Glad your not totally buried in snow!
