I couldn't stand staying inside that is. Got off work in time to rush home, grab the camera and snap a few with the light already turned golden. Great cure for the "winter" blahs.

Nice series. Where did you photograph the Beaver? We see a lot of Nutria on here but the old native Castor canadensis is harder to get.

Thanks folks.

Sandboa,
We've got a little Series of green belt parks here in Carrollton. This one was exceptionally tame. I was able to get very close.

In any case, no shortage of them in North Texas. No BS, I actually had one swim through my legs while standing in the water (duck hunting). That was a shock!
