A strange egg shape appeared on the Wildlife pond during a New Year’s Eve walk at Wachusett Meadow.
What could it be?A North American Beaver rests on the ice. No wonder it stays warm with its sleek furry coat!In Native American tradition, the beaver symbolizes wisdom, hard work, persistence, productivity and cooperation.
May we remember these beaver traits in the coming New Year.
What amazing creatures they are, even when recognizable and not presenting as a furry egg! The front feet work very well also as quite dexterous hands it seems. The qualities you mention will serve humans well too going forward. Wishing you the very best for the year ahead.
Thanks for visiting. Beavers are endlessly fascinating for me, as I can see them each early evening in the summer, and quite often on the ice in winter at my nearby Audubon. It’s such a treat for me!
Wishing you well!

That first shot is quite amusing! Beavers are fascinating to watch.
Another good photo story
Thanks for visiting. It seems that my fun photographing beavers is probably much like yours when your photograph those beautiful New Forest ponies! 😉

Dear Julie,
Thank you for sharing the beaver’s inspiring traits. We could follow far worse ideals.
All the best for the coming year.

That first shot looks like it could be the back of a human head coming up through the water. Good captures Julie. Happy New Year. Allan
