The meadow is barely recognizable from the last time I visited. The entire area is covered in a thick blanket of snow hiding the previously abundant vegetation. All that remains are some bare trees and dead reeds sticking out of the ground. Despite the absence of the once vibrant life, the meadow takes on a different kind of beauty that is serene and anticipatory for spring to revive it.
There were not many signs of wildlife either, however there were some tracks in the snow that I was not able to get close enough to identify and what looked like a burrow or a tunnel. There did not seem to be any scat but there were multiple instances of urination. However, some of the urine along with the paw print (see below) were most likely left behind by a domestic dog as they were right off the side of the trail.
