Today was early walkies day since the kidlet has Honor Choir practice at 7:10 on Tuesdays. I don't mind walking early especially since the time change has made it light enough to see. It isn't quite so creepy, ya know.
Anyhoo, as I've mentioned in the past, my morning walk takes me to an area where three highways meet, forming a bowl and a creek runs through this bowl. A few years ago, the city built a bridge over this creek. And while this makes it easier for walkers, joggers and bikers, they also destroyed a beaver dam in the process.
But guess what?
While I didn't actually catch sight of one of the orange- and buck-toothed little critters, I did see evidence that that are back! This picture was taken from the walking trail across the creek.
Too cool, huh?
Well, I think so. I'll keep my phone handy to take pictures of any wildlife I see.
From what I've read, nature destroys beaver dams kind of regularly, but they always build back.
ReplyDeleteBeavers are really interesting critters, but I wouldn't want to meet one where I couldn't get away.
Cool, Mags! And I'm impressed that you're walking in these delightful early morning temperaturs. :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, I was worried that they weren't coming back since it had been so long.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marilyn! I don't mind cold, but the wind I could do without!
