It’s amazing what you can see around here when you get up early enough. In addition to the amazing stillness of the water, which made for great reflections of the Hunter Street Bridge…

you can imagine my surprise when this little critter came swimming by…

He was moving at a pretty fast clip so I wasn’t able to get a very good shot of him, so here’s a cropped version of another shot which was the best one of the bunch for a closeup…

I was really excited to watch him swimming along. It was the first time in my life I’ve ever seen a beaver swimming in the wild. The only place I’ve ever seen them until now was in a zoo.
All in all, a very cool morning. :)

Have a great weekend!

The tulips that were waiting to burst open last week are now in full bloom!



I’m overloaded with writing projects this week, so I’m multi-tasking on the memes this morning just in case I don’t get a chance to post anything tomorrow. :)
So for more great photos, be sure to check out Mellow Yellow Monday, Macro Monday, and Ruby Tuesday.
Have a Magnificent Monday!

These are a couple of shots that my son took on one of his bike rides out on the river road.


The building in this shot is the Bata Library at Trent University — a place where I spent more hours of my life than I care to think about at this point in time. :)

Have a wonderful day!
