Patterns of snow on the slowly-thawing icy lake:
I think probably it was a goose or two or three.... Maybe the Hooded Mergansers. I haven't seen any out there, so they must've been there at a time when I was otherwise occupied. Come to think of it, we also do have beavers around here, and raccoons, but I think both of them would be far too heavy to walk on that thin ice. Definitely wasn't humans!
Nope, not a snowman out there, either. I had stepped out on the deck to savor the fifty-degree air, which feels positively balmy after what we've been experiencing, and when I looked down and saw that nearly perfect circle, I knew I had to grab the camera.

What would a POTD thread be without a cat pic (and yes, I understand that one reasonable answer is "better")? However, it's been cold outside and I've been concentrating on using/learning lighting recently so--here you go 
As an aside, I've been using the Sigma 40mm Art almost exclusively recently and it's become one of my favorite lenses.

I am no expert, either, so don't know for sure what kind of footprints beavers make, nor do I know how much they weigh..... The tracks WERE close in to the shoreline, though, as opposed to being out in the middle of the lake, and there is some vegetation growing along the shoreline, so it is possible that this was a beaver. They have done some major destruction to a lot of the trees around the lake, and of course those trees are on the shoreline..... Well, I guess those tracks are going to be a mystery!
You’ll have to get one of those night vision video cameras that activates when it detects movement. Then you can find out!

I invested in a Sony 16-35mm 2.8 GM to shoot some landscape and architecture... maybe post something that this thread would enjoy more... but I just can't get away from doing portraits... LOL...
It's been foggy and gray the last few days. Monochrome suits the mood.

Thanks for looking,

One from a while back:

Diptych No. 6 (Black and white landscape) (also, far from my best work, but at least I took some photos)
Just trying to get a better picture that I had done before. This one is better, but it's still not there.
Taken just a couple hours ago. Forcing myself (re-learning) to use primes. Walking around with only a 35mm available.
