Sink and Swim - a photo on Flickriver

Sink and Swim

Many of these little sinks within the marshier areas of Mer Bleue Bog (see location below) can be deceptively benign-looking, especially at the beginning of mild winters like the one we're off to this year. Our spring and autumn walks have shown that water in some of them can easily top a 12" pair of waterproof boots, right Soaker?

"That's right, Edna, but you were not supposed to add that part."

Anyway, when it's mild outside, like today, a two or three kilometer walk home with a wet foot would be uncomfortable but not likely to do any damage, but if a cold snap moves in overnight and there's enough insulating snow over the thin spots to keep them that way, a wet foot could be serious business. Of course this all concerns Dad, not me; a few shakes of my paw will rid me of any excess water.
So you see in this photo that Dad was sticking close to the higher ground on the left on our way in, while I was unconcerned in traversing the middle, as was the deer which you can see preceded us earlier this morning.
It's heartening to see that though deer are scarcely seen in our area any more as humanity encroaches, this winter's quantity of tracks are proving that they are still around in fairly good numbers, as are coyotes. Moose numbers are low, however, with only one confirmed set of tracks so far.
