The Visitor

When the snow has fallen, one of the interesting things to observe is the pattern of footprints around the house.  Often, children will run through the yard, or we’ll see the trail of the gas meter reader. 

Yesterday, we found an interesting set of prints on our doormat: a single set of bird prints. From what I could tell, it appears that the bird flew directly onto our mat, perhaps knocked on our door and flew away again without taking a step.

    Great observation and an an awesome photo. I really like how you placed the feet off center- it really works.

    Thanks for the kind words. I wish the lighting was better, but sometimes you just have to take the best shot you can at the moment.
