Attack of the beaver

The evening started off calm and peaceful ...


Curt gets our kayaks blown up and ready to travel around the lake at Pocahantas State Park.


We finally set out and it is beautiful! The water was as still as glass. We heard bull frogs making noises in the distance. A beaver is swimming off in the distance, then flaps its tail and heads underwater. Turtles are sunbathing on logs. Cranes are enjoying the evening air.





And then it happens. On our way back through Beaver Territory, we sit in our kayaks admiring some turtles sunbathing on a log. The beaver reappears right next to Curt, and slaps it's tail! Curt jumps! We both start laughing, and then it happens again ... to me! We decided it was best to just let the beaver be and head back to shore. :)
