Winding Path

These tracks caught my eye immediately when I spotted them last weekend on frozen bog in the Adirondacks. Looks like the animal walked up on the stump for a better view of the flat area. I saw lots of coyote tracks in the area, but I could not really say if these were made by a coyote or a dog, since I also saw signs of people bringing dogs on trails in the area, but there were no human tracks withing 50 yards of this scene, so I am guessing wild animal. FWIW, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no animal was trained or otherwise coerced to walk in this pattern.)
