I have been thinking a lot about water lately, which immediately makes me think about beavers. They are fascinating, beautiful, complex and intelligent mammals, whose ability to positively transform the landscape and create new habitat is unsurpassed.

A beaver lodge in October near Olympia, Washington.
The camouflaged lodge nearly disappears into the surrounding wetland landscape.
