Summer in Pennsylvania - What # test for beaver?


I just came back from a week vacation at my family's cabin in upstate Pennsylvania.  It was a fun time and I got to take a lot of pictures!


Forget-me-nots after a rain.


More post-rain flowers.


We had a campfire every night.


If you haven't yet figured out what my favorite flower is, it should be obvious.


Forget-me-nots over the creek.



My aunt taught me some fly-fishing basics and I even managed to catch a fish!


Later, I was fishing on this log, about halfway out because we had seen some trout under the stump to the left.  I was casting flies when all of a sudden up pops...


A beaver, not five feet from me, just where I was casting my fly!  In my surprise, I shouted "Oh my god!  It's not a trout, it's a beaver!"  Everyone came running to see - it was hilarious!
