A Favorite

If you have followed my blog, there is a strong possibility you have already seen this image as I love posting photos from my collection of these big birds.  

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, may today be an opportunity to rest, laugh, interact with loved ones, notice abundance and let gratitude occupy a space in your heart.

Busy Beavers

 

In the past couple months I started to notice various things that suggested beavers were feverishly working in the woods alongside the river where I frequently walk.  And, then one day I found a tree horizontal on my path.  Yep, it was clear from the details that these creatures were definitily working to fortify their lodge for the coming winter.  

They are amazing, and I am captivated by their efforts.  And, I feel lucky to be able to easily observe their progress.  Seeing this is something beautiful.
