Yesterday, we saw a total of seven Muskrats down at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. The light happened to be beautiful as this one nibbled on the bunch of greens clutched tightly in its tiny hands. I was tempted to crop it even closer, but I liked the tree reflections in the small hole of water that had melted in the thin layer of ice. Thanks, Randy - you two guys were so pleasant, allowing me to "intrude" on you, while you clicked away. Thinking about this just now, it made me chuckle to think that WE could have been the subject for someone with a camera. Me with my little point-and-shoot camera, with a guy with a 600 mm on one side and a guy on the other side with a 500 mm, LOL!!! "An adult muskrat is about 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches) long, almost half of that tail, and weighs from 0.7 to 1.8 kg (1.5 to 4 lb). Muskrats are much smaller than beavers (Castor canadensis), with whom they often share their habitat." From Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskrat

Hawthorn trees have such pretty leaves. This one was down at Stanley Park in Calgary, yesterday. P9160011
