Amazing what you find to shoot, Derrald. Once again the color and light are right on and the foreground is very interesting. I found this on the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center site: "The beaver does not hibernate. During the fall they build a large store of food near their lodge. This food pile, which is placed in the water, is known as a beaver cache. As both the cache and the beaver's entrance to the lodge can be reached from under the ice, the beavers do not need to come out above the ice during the winter." Me, I would hibernate! #7003288

Zana, Kitty, Ken, David, and Shelly, thank you! Nikki, thanks for the info, I guess just assumed they hibernated as the ice was frozen solid, but maybe way down there was some water. I would definitely hibernate if I could too!

Shelly, I would definitely recommend one of these filters for sunsets, especially where there is a defined horizon line. #7005546
