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!

Have a great weekend! Don’t forget to check out everyone else’s cool Camera Critters too!

In keeping with my theme of no snow pics today, here’s a couple more archived shots from the golf course…

There were geese in the gallery…

and groundhogs just outside the ropes (okay, so it’s a fence)…

There were also ducks and frogs and a few other critters too, but we’ll save those for another day. (Because I’m sure there will be lots more days where I really don’t want to think about the cold and snow yet to come!)

That’s all for me today. I’m off to check out everyone else’s blogs and critter photos. You can see more too by checking out Camera Critters!

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
