Snow Valentine

Walking in the woods the other day, there were a ton of footprints in the snow.

It looked like a mini-highway under the spruce trees. But then I spotted the oddest detail.

Under a big spruce, just off the beaten track from the highway of footprints, there it was.

A heart in the snow. I expect that it was rabbits or deer or something digging for vittles. Or was it a love letter between two critters?
