We have had a little snow, and this morning the temperatures
was down to -6, so the scenery is getting wintry. Oxsjön was indeed frozen ,

I love the winter scenery. Here, for example, the reeds seem
to be growing out of the ice itself 
.
One of the fascinating things about snow is that one suddenly
sees animal tracks all around. I wonder what beast crossed the
lake at this point, for example
?
Liam is fascinated by all the details around him: his stock phrase is `Come here, I want to show you something´! Here we see
Towards the end of our walk Liam found some unusual tracks

most are dogs, of course, since so many people walk theirs up at
the lake. But these were different. My guess is a deer, and not a
roe deer because they are so small: these tracks were maybe
3-4" long and over a foot apart. Perhaps a hart, if that is
what they are called in English. The deer had followed the path
for 1-200 metres: Liam was amazed that animals follow paths that
people have made!
Maybe this had something to do with it: 
. We almost never see vehicles at Oxsjön;
usually the road is closed. But today, we saw several. Hunting
season, perhaps?
If you click on the next thumbnail, you will see a panorama taken near the end of our walk, almost 360 degrees.
Liam says this is his best winter ever!
