This Beaver’s perfect execution of instinct. It saw an undammed stream, a tree standing near, and it knew just what to do. And the tree went right where the beaver wanted it.
The whole world was encrusted in ice this morning, it’s surreal when it happens so we took a long walk through the woods to experience it. The wind blowing through the trees made a cacophony of breaking ice.
Our favorite “hole in a tree”
Did you know that turkeys literally start showing up around Thanksgiving? Didn’t see them all Summer, and now they’re here everyday, looking tasty. Something makes them bolder and get quite close. The fact that culture and tradition were shaped by environmental cycles was completely lost on me as a city dweller. Maybe it didn’t help that I lived in places where that culture had been imported not in accordance with the environment, I’ve never seen wild turkeys in Utah.
