Having just returned from a 4-day road trip that took us into southern Vermont, I've been thinking of you! What gorgeous country! We also went to the zoo in Utica and I saw a beaver for the first time ever! I'd love to see them at work out in nature!
@Weezilou Thanks Louise. You should have contacted me and we'd have been pleased to offer you a refreshment! We live in the Southern part of Vermont close to the city of Rutland. Beavers are everywhere here and many trees around here are wearing the prints of the beavers' strong teeth :-)
@craftymeg Thanks Margaret. Yes the water in the pond is very clear and you can easily see the fish. It's such marvelous to see unpolluted water these days!
As clear as glass! Hopefully the beavers will stay contained here. They can end up causing quite a bit of damage to the streams and creeks when they block off the water. We used to drive up to see my dad through Rutland- there was a section along Rt. 100 where beavers had made a dam and the rangers had to dismantle it as it totally dried the creek up!
@corinnec Well, that's fun to now know where you're located; I remember Rutland's location because our daughter works at a school in the town of Rutland, MA. That was the day we were driving back home, but I appreciate the kind thought. Photos, later, are more meaningful once I really KNOW the region by having been through it!
