December 26th – December 30th is Winter – TOJI (Winter solstice)-65th KOU “Deer shed antlers”
You never see deer in the open areas around here, where there are many rice fields and farmland.
So, I went to the riverbank of the SAI to look for other creatures, not deer. There are trees and bushes, so it’s a good place for animals to live and hide.
I found lots of footprints. Did they all get together for a Christmas party? What look like deer footprints are the ones of wild boars. There are also fox footprints. Mmmmm…I don’t know names of another animals and birds.
I’ve encountered foxes five times this year (that’s many!). They disappeared while I was in a hurry to get my camera out. I wasn’t able to take the picture all five times😒
