During a walk I had hoped to see this Beaver. It was 8 P.M. in the evening with a 10:45 sunset so there was still plenty of soft light as I noticed ripples in the water where I was expecting him. Before long he popped up and unlike the night before he didn't slap the water with his tail and leave me.On the contrary he stayed above water from that point on swimming back and forth and even forward to 20 feet in front of me. It was very easy to wait for the light to hit him as he swam past.

I agree with everyone, Harold. Nice job!
Good Time to shot you get good coloer
He stands out so beautifully here and the color tones are gorgeous. I like how you caught him with his head held high and his body and the ripples around him highlighted by the evening light. Excellent shot, Harold.
Like very much that shot Harold. Agree with Debra about the beaver that leaves the light to enter the darkness. Adds a spiritual side to the image. You are a good writer too Harold. Luke your description of the moment. The colours of the water and the beaver suggest a dying sun. Knowing the habits of the subject help a lot.
It was such a pleasure that the Beaver was there again last night, Debra and the light couldn't have been more perfect. We have another clear night tonight so I will try to get him slapping the water or any photo of the tail will do. I hope you get your muskrat soon. Thanks!
You have caught the beaver nicely in the light showing lots of detail in his fur.I like how it appears that the beaver is swimming into the darkness. It gives the image a sense of mystery. Good one Harold.
