Update: Things You Don't See in the City

So many of you have asked about what's been happening with the beavers that it seemed time for another update (an earlier one is here).  For those who don't know, there's a beaver pond on our property.  Earlier this year, we discovered that the beavers seemed to be following our lead by deciding to renovate.  They took down a sizable tree in the yard - you can see a close-up of it here.

We'd thought they'd found greener (browner?) pastures, since they'd been seemingly dormant for a while.  But lo and behold... the other day while showing a friend around our place, we found this.




And this.




And this.


Oh, come ON. 
That one's a maple - a tree we really wanted to keep!

Yeesh.  That says it all, I think.

P.S.   Our lovely friends E&S recommended this IMAX flick when we were discussing the little critters and we saw it last night.  Crazy!  It's a really quick watch (even streams on Netflix) and is pretty amazing - never seen anything like it!  Now we have some clue as to what's going on out there in that pond...
