On to the beaver dam! As I related in my entry dated August 16^th, we've been watching the progress on the beaver dam we discovered earlier this summer.

All eyes were to the right as we approached the dam until someone in the back let out a gasp. The beaver!!!

But wait. No. Beaver have long flat tails and sleek coats. This animal appeared much more ... prickly!

I am so thrilled to see a live porcupine. They're very interesting creatures. We greatly enjoyed watching him amble up and down the road. He ignored us most of the time. He was greatly annoyed, however, when he found trash on the side of the road. His nose touched it and he reacted as though he was very upset.

Thus ended our outing for the day. Perhaps we'll catch another glimpse of “Mr. Ouch” at a later date.

Oh, I shouldn't shout at you in my jealousy. :-D
You're the coolest.
