A snow print

This picture was actually taken about a week ago when there was some snow still on the ground. Through the window, I saw a hawk of some kind fly into the back yard with a rodent -- still alive -- in its claws. It landed under the apple tree, looked around for a moment, and flew off again. This is the snow's memory of that moment: the hawk's wings, tail and claws, and, in the center, its prey.
