beaver pond
Perhaps you're in the mood for a change of pace?
We went for a walk through a landscape transformed by beavers. It's always been marshy; they have turned it into their own habitat. There are frogs in here, and red-winged blackbirds flying over the reedy parts, and redstarts singing in the skunk-cabbage parts.


We saw a great tree, SO TALL, that will soon be down:

Evidence (pond-facing side):

Some extra gnawing (trail-facing side):

Again, that tree is TALL:

So think of beavers. There was no pond before but there is a pond now.

Thank you for these placid photographs of new growth and richness out of the demise of what was.
