I thought that this was really cute; I took the picture yesterday on one of the month’s coldest days.  I really don’t know what kind of footprints they are but I can imagine that it probably belongs to some little squirrel or mouse.  I just think that it looks so cute because I can imagine the little rodent, what ever it may be, and running back and forth to get the little grains and seeds that were leftover from the bird feeder.  All those little bits of food are around the base of the tree aren’t going to waste. Obviously those poor little critters are hungry or there wouldn’t be those little tiny foot trails.  But what makes me wonder is... do they have a little house built under the little cedar bush?  What would really happen if I stuck my camera in there?  What little critter would I find? I think it’s the little bit of mystery that interreges me of these footprints.
