Much too early dawn I walk kinda slow with a bad knee along the path past Outlet 3 on Taneycomo...
walk across the bridge, and to my right - I sneak up on a Beaver :
She dove... because I scared the crap out of it and me...
The long concrete stairway in the distance is our fish ladder... it almost swims into it underwater...
So she resurfaced... only briefly... to see where to go...
Lost it after that and there I stood... holding the flashlight. It all took like 8 seconds.
I always hum the Winnie Pooh song - If you go out in the woods today...
Here is a great '30's version : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZANKFxrcKU
