The interesting development at the lake is the activity of a group of beavers. They seem to be building a lodge for the winter out in the lake. They have been chewing down trees in the area. I took this shot of an ash tree that was recently felled, but there are others in the area. They bite quite large chips out of the tree trunks and the pile next to the trees is pretty impressive. We walked around the area, hoping to encounter one of the lodge builders, but it wasn't to be.
It's a wild spot in the middle of a metropolitan area and the beavers are doing what beavers do. This is the same area that had a deer hunt for archers last month and they'll be doing it again next week.
It was a sunny day, more like a nice October day than November.
A full moon is out tonight, the one known as the Hunter's Moon. The season is changing.
There was no tennis today, but I'm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon with three other geezers.

Quite an interesting walk in the wild. It surprises me a little that you can do this in the middle of such an intensely urban area. I don't remember ever having seen a tree felled by beavers. Nice photo.
Too bad you didn't get to see the actual beavers, that would have been cool. But do we really need something else killing our ash trees? *sigh*
