Yes, beaver. For a long time, critters have dammed up ponds, placed mud and sticks just so.
This was an amazing day, with skies of blue, nary a cloud in sight.
Everybody was out in the sun: ducks, turtles, busy beavers.
This hearken back to my Long Lake, in Muskoka. I
hauled my canoe up the hill, and set out on Mary Lake, some call it. Others call it Rose Lake.
It lies behind, and up above my old lake, feeding the lake below.

| providing a home to turtles |
 |
| chewing bark up with teeth! |
 |
| Look at the size of it! |
 |
And the beauty of a calm pond,
above a lake |
 |
| This is my bliss! |
 |
| It's a bit of a drop down. Perhaps 6'! |
