While I was waiting for mom to finish her physical therapy I parked by one of the little local lakes. (Ponds is what we would have called them in MN) Normally at this time of year they should be frozen solid. The one that sits right along highway 160 is frozen across, but this little one had three open sections.
A fox popped out and ran across the road, by the time I got the camera turned on it was already down by the lake.
It followed the shore then popped out onto the thin ice between to open areas of water.
I wondered for a minute if I might see a fox fall through the ice, but I guess it had a soft touch and easily made it to the other side.
