It started out being a fairly typical walk. Nice, early evening dappled light.
Then I rounded the corner from the wood side of the trail to the water side and there it was. Casual as could be. Totally ignoring me, even after it saw me. A (pardon the language)big ass Beaver. Yes the good old Canadian Beaver.
And while I was standing there, watching it preen and relax and continue to ignore me, I met a fellow Newfoundland native. He was just as chuffed as I was to see this really (seriously, REALLY) big member of the rodent family.
And from the unbelieveable to the seasonal and expected - a family of Canada Geese in the distance.
Eileen, how wonderful. What beautiful photos of a beautiful creature. And the Canada geese are lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteI'd sure love to go walking in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteHi Pauline - No, I don't think you've ever called me Eileen by mistake before so no need to panic. Hope you're having a great day! Elaine
