I wasn’t alone in seeking a cool retreat after a hot and humid summer day recently. Wachusett Meadow, Princeton, Ma. (Video short included.)



American Beaver



Photographs taken with a bridge camera journaling nature and everyday life in Central Massachusetts and beyond.
Perfect shots for the season, Julie!
Not quite ‘The Lotus Eaters’, but the beaver eating a pond lily flower made that come to mind. I wonder if he/she feels blissful and forgetful after eating it? 🤣
LOL! I know I feel calmer after watching him!
Wonderful photos! Amazing! Thank’s for share Julie.
Have a lovely day!
Hope you are enjoying your summer, Elvira!
Thank you, Julie, I feel much cooler after looking at your photos. The beaver video is delightful, watching him/her eat the pond lily made me laugh.
I hope you have your own ways of cooling down.
Best,
Tanja
A bit cooler here lately, I’m happy to say. Happy August!
I wish you the same.
Love this post and these great photos!!!
Thanks so much for visiting!
A wonderful collection
Thanks. I love when my timing works out just right!
You were certainly in the right place at the right time. I enjoyed those cool water pictures and especially that charming video of the nibbling beaver.
There is just something about that particular half grown “beave”. I visit s/he a few times a week. 🙂
I love that beaver. Great to watch him having a snack.
Glad you enjoyed the beaver. Visiting the beaver pond is my summer evening entertainment!
Yes Julie, thanks.
Hope yours as well.
These images are simply wonderful!!!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed visiting!
You’re more than welcome 🌹
Always nice to see wildlife on our outings. Have a good Thursday Julie. Allan
