Early Morning Surprise

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. :)
