While shooting on the Concord River yesterday in Concord Massachusetts, this beaver swam down stream and had a bit of breakfast near a swampy area on the other bank of the river.
They are awesome. Also, if they sense danger (like a strange photographer standing by the river) they sound an alarm by slapping their tail on the water. It is really loud, like a firecracker.
Oh wow! That must have been such a wonderful moment, Chris! I always love “meeting” animals in the wild – well, as long as they don´t want to eat me 😉 which luckily they seldom do around here (that´s if you don´t count mosquitos 😉 ) What a beautiful beaver it is! Cheers!
Thank you, Sarah. It was big! No fear of it eating me. Did I tell you I woke up last week and there was a bear at the window? Yeah, snacking on a bird feeder attached to the window. His paw print is still on the glass. He would not have likely eaten me either. I think the mosquitoes are the big risk.
OMG! A bear?! That´s so awesome! And a little bit frightening as well… But then I just loooove bears and probably would have forgotten all about being afraid, too 😉 Did you make a picture? At least of the foot print?? I also feed birds from my window sills, but since I´m living on the forth floor there´s no risk involved of attracting a bear 😉 Ahh – how I wished I could have seen that! Cheers!
It was dark, so no image and the smudge does not look so impressive in the camera. It is still there. We’ve not washed it off. Our family is coming to visit today and will enjoy seeing it. Cheers!
What a gorgeous shot, Chris. I love beavers and what they do 🙂
Thank you, Chris for checking out 🙂

Interesting way to sound the alarm. I did not know 🙂
When I used to run, I’d go by a beaver pond. In the morning, he would be swimming around and slapping his tail.
Cool 🙂
Such a cool shot, I love it!
It’s the destiny… that moment has been waiting for you; there at the swamp, just for you 🙂
What a beautiful idea. Thank you. 😊
😀 lovely…spirit of the beaver swimming into your life…so wonderful for you!
Perhaps this is because I’ve been doing some woodworking lately. It made the shoot much more fun. Cheers.
That’s funny Chris ☺️ enjoy!
Thank you, Hedy…The spirit of the beaver worked; I have my inspiration for my next woodworking project. Cheers!

I wouldn´t wash it off either but keep it as a reminder! 🙂
We had family visit today and they were surprised at the mark from the bear. Cheers!
Did he ask you for any Grey Poupon? hehe
How did you know? 😉
I know you, my friend!
Incredible! I’ve never seen a beaver in real life before.
They are interesting. This is the most I’ve seen of one out of the water. Cheers!
such a fun title to go with this unique shot….the beaver seems to be so chill….
I want a beaver’s life, swimming around, munching on fresh salad and some light carpentry. Cheers!
ha! you are funny
