Oops! :-[ Sorry Edward. (Not enough coffee this morning)
Quite Ok Click, and I know the problem, can't get my head going until I've had at least a few ounces of Espresso in the mornings, always an issue on Safari, where to carry the coffee until things get warmed up & working

Hi Edward.
That is a superb shot, I love to see these big cat shots of yours, (and other people's too) a real pleasure.
Cheers, Graham.

A little story goes with this shot - it's just a beaver and it resides off and on in my back yard pond. Its main pond is a few hundred yards upstream but it seems they like to have more than one safe haven. Anyway, my pond is dammed but I have put in a culvert of sorts to prevent the undesirable flooding of my lawn. Mr Beaver visits every day, sometimes two or three times to plug it up. Everyday, I take the shovel and work at dislodging branches, bull rushes and whatever and every day he repairs it (seldom see him cause it's usually at night) and today when I went to check if he'd been there, there he was and there was enough light to get a shot. Tomorrow morning my lawn will be flooded and the whole process repeats until one of us gets tired of it.

Click said:Cool story, Jack... And nice picture.
I think most naturalist would claim that only trapping solves the problem and that's what happened two years ago when a neighbor complained (water was only rising on county land, not his but they didn't verify adequately). Once the beavers were gone it was like the death of a whole ecosystem. So, earlier this summer I contacted the county and chastised them that they had trapped without actually confirming the property lines and the degree of the beaver's negative impact. So far no more trapping has occurred and I once again have a wetland for photography (if I could just finish my all-consuming granite project).
However, I think I have forfeited the right to complain to the county!
Now I have a new idea involving rerouting the creek so dam overflow is channeled where it's more esthetic and contained, just below my garden but I suspect I wouldn't get approval for such a venture.
