That certainly gives meaning to "busy beavers"! The pond they've made ought to provide lots of photo ops for you....and they do it for free, unless those are your trees they're chewing!

Thanks for sharing these, Duane. I especially like the first one; such beautiful colors. My eye goes right to the spot where the beaver has been gnawing.

Beautiful work, love the last shot especially but they all are great. Beavers are amazing animals and work very hard at just living. I am constantly amazed by what these guys can do, I once saw a dam built of nothing but corn stalks in the middle of a corn field.

Amazing creatures Duane, and great shots showing us thier skills as builders. Thanks. Good to see they survived the slaughter in the previous couple of centuries for the sake of fashion. PAUL

A very cool series, and what a great idea for a shared opportunity for us! The 1st is my favorite too, I love the colors and reflections. It's amazing how industrious these little fellas are.

Nice shots duane, i really like the composition of the last one. Destructive little critters, but they make some beautiful lakes.
