My Saturday Morning

This morning I took a little trip across the road and through the woods to a pond that has been dammed up by beavers in recent years. I was looking at the lichens on trees around the pond for an ecology project, and a friend of mine was examining the activity of the beavers around the pond. It was a great day to do this trip as the sun was shining. Here are some of the pictures that I took while I was there. The picture to the left is of a tree that has ferns growing on it, and the one below is some evidence of the beaver population that is active in the area. And here is the beaver lodge that has been erected in the last few weeks.
