| chipmunk tracks |
 |

 |
| Fox tracks ... notice the perfect "registration" on the straight-line tracks |
 |
| The Fox stopped to check something out under the shrub |
 |
| is it a squirrel or a meatloaf? |
 |
| vole tracks, revealed by the melt and, not surprisingly, when it came out to grab some seeds, it squeaked and ran back into the tunnels! |
 |
| collecting leaves and looking good |
 |
| End of Summer ... soooo sad |
 |
| Lots o' leaves! |
 |
| Lasagna'd and wrapped up for the winter |
 |
| Ok, ready for some serious composting over the winter! |

 |
| Ah, a field trip within walking distance ... |
 |
| have gear, will explore |

 |
| ... we would love to know what this thing is! |
 |
| Exploration, data collection and appreciation |
 |
| We know the water's low when we can see the dock footing! |
