Stepping in the snow

If you would like to walk in the snow, and are not trained in skiing, "snow sandals" can help you to avoid sinking down in the deep snow. In norwegian "snow sandals" are called "truger", the ones on the picture are more like mini skis.

These equipments help, but I prefer to ski. The deers however have to wade in the snow looking for food. In newfallen snow we can follow their tracks. Here the deers have crossed a few hours ago.

Bark from young trees is one of their favorites now during the winter. They also graze in people's orchards, and they are not shy until they are disturbed by the owner. But sorry for the trees when damaged like this:

Other animals are less harmful, but they might have a hard time to jump around in the snow. You are fortunate if you meet the animal who has these footprints, the hare.

The home cat is more often to be seen, we all know its prints. But there are also really big bulls outside. I am happy that they seemed to be in a calm mood today.
