Hi Friends and Fellow Artists,

So glad you are here. Last week I spent a bit of time studying these tracks. Are they from a wolf? They certainly look big enough. I guestimated the stride length and it was clearly 8 feet plus. (A German Shepherd has a stride length of 5 to 6 feet.) We do have dogs roaming about but they usually stick to the driveway and yard and I have not seen one with tracks this big. We have had  German Shepherds with our last fellow being 120 lbs. so I know something about big dog tracks. Those are my boots and even with a bit of melting snow these tracks seem too large and the stride too long for a dog.  It all makes me wonder. Part of another day in the Boreal Forest. Now back to the studio. lol

The word for 2024 seems to be 'Be Kind' (Governor General's address)  and I can't agree more. We need more kindness. Have a great day and be kind. 

xxoo,

Sue
