Animal footprints and lost leaves in snow

A walk in countryside around Castello Semese, near Verica town (Emilia Romagna, Italy).

Winter is coming!

I described landscape in last post, now I will show you some wild animal footprints in the snow.

In upper pictures, a boar footprints on the left, and on the right some traces of fur, unmistakable sign of the animal's passage.
In lower pictures, two different badger footprints:

Here the place around Semese castle:

Some animal faeces, maybe a roe deer:

Memories of autumn (leaves and a chestnut) spread on the white winter surface:

The leaf tombs:

But nature is still alive despite of the cold!

A distant airplane remember me about the time and season changing...
