Due to mild temperatures December 3 felt more like a spring day rather than a winter day. The beavers were out and more active than normal. I spotted three beavers swimming around. This one passed under a bridge that I was standing on. He appears to have a small portion of a branch in his (her?) mouth.
Very nice shot Andy. You are a lucky guy with so much animals in your environment who are not to shy to show themselves. Now the housing of them what must be nearby.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, he looks like a speedboat.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot.
ReplyDeleteReally nice.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! I've never been able to get this close to a beaver.
ReplyDeleteMild temperatures?? It's cold down here. Well, cold by desert standards. I like this cute guy you've photographed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot, Andy. We thought we spotted a beaver in our lake a few weeks back but a more recent visit from muskrat had us rethink what we had seen. You have a lovely capture, here.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful wildlife shot!
ReplyDeleteYou have Beavers, never seen one
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot, Andy! I think I saw one a couple of years ago down by the lake but that was the only time i ever saw one.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Andy, that's a wonderful capture! A framer for sure!
ReplyDeleteyou were lucky! This is a stunning image. Love the colortone on water and beaver.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo, Andy. I've never seen a wild beaver this close. Just wonderful to see him/her foraging for wood even in December.

That's a big wow - I've never seen a live beaver. Lucky you! (And lucky you for your weather! At 8 p.m. our temp is -5C. We went to Victoria on Thursday and it snowed (lightly) most of the day.)
ReplyDeleteGathering winter food on a "nice" day. Smart beaver!
ReplyDeleteI love spotting beavers, I don't know - they're so industrious. Love this glimpse and the way the beaver blends with the water!
