With temperatures finally above zero (but not above freezing yet), one might be tempted to take a hike through the fields but the snow can hide objects under the snow so you might have to follow the deer trails.
Hidden Objects Under the Snow

It warmed up just enough to snow again but at least it is not a real heavy snowfall and not weighting the poor tree limbs down like some snow storms do.

In front of a fireplace, looking out at the window, is the perfect place see the winter wonderland. Except I don’t have a fireplace and it was -19 this morning.

Nature has decorated the trees outside, just in time for Christmas and a little extra decoration was added this morning, but all the decorations seem to be one color – white!

It appears that one deer appreciated the gate being open to the field so it didn’t have to hop the fence but I have more deer tracks in my yard than this field and with the recent snows, I have noticed three times the deer has peeked into my bedroom window. I don’t know if he wants an apple or why he likes looking in. Course now I really wonder how often I had a ‘peeking buck’ all summer. It is bad enough having a ‘peeking tom’ in the shower as my cat comes into the shower with me and of course leaves wet tracks on the floor when he gets out. I guess my place is overrun by the critters!

The pretty new fallen snow doesn’t last long. The wind blows the snow off, the sun melts it or the critters start romping through the snow leaving tracks everywhere. When I was out walking in the snow yesterday, I was surprised by the number of tracks, including the deer tracks that led up to my bedroom window! The squirrel tracks generally went from tree to tree, the deer tracks made well traveled paths, bird tracks were under the feeders and the little mice tracks seem to be a random path and some just ended. They may have been a mid-afternoon snack for a hawk or eagle.

A friend of my from Australia (who is enjoying very warm temps since summer time there), asked if there was any color in my winter wonderland after seeing this week’s photos.
I replied to her that yes, we have color in our winter wonderland; we just have to clear the snow away to see it!

The snow covered the branches with the pretty white snow but the wind today blew most of the snow off the branches and you didn’t want to be standing under the branches when the snow came down.

It may be a very white week with the heavy snowfall and the extra snow flakes being added this morning, but a sunset can provide a little different color.

The snow might be pretty to look at but it wasn’t so ‘pretty’ when it came time to start shoveling out the driveway.
