You were lucky to get so close!

Hi Sky

Another great shot of your beaver friend. It was obviously a wonderful moment for you to be touched by nature in this very personal way. The beaver must have ‘realised’ that these shots would get him into the TN annals thereby allowing you so close by and letting you take the photos (chuckle).

Congratulations on your first anniversary. It has been an eventful year and you have shared a whopping 197 of your lovely photos with us. Thanks for all your contributions and for your commitment to this site. Hopefully the next year will be just as exiting and with even more moments to share.

This posting is proverbial of your portfolio i.e. interesting, neat, well executed, and full of variation. The colours are good, the details are sharp, the trees reflecting on the water surface makes for an interesting BG effect, and the exposure was well controlled.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. Tomorrow is my anniversary. Wow, how time has flown past.

Loot is such a dear, Sky! How nice of him to remind you that you have completed one full year as an active memeber of TN today!
Hope he reminds me too (and soon) unless he is partial to the girls only :-)!
This is a very touching image of the beaver you have posted today on your anniversary as a member. Even his whiskers seem to have frozen!
Thanks and wish you another successful year on TN.

Hello Sky,
Seems like you had a great time with your furry friend!
I notice how well groomed the fur coat is, shiny and fine...
Beautiful colours and fine details are captured, presented in an attractive composition with strong diagonal!

I think I like this one even better than the last. I am SO surprised that he didn't scamper away as soon as he became aware of you. I would love to get a shot like this. I think it is wonderful. The ice adds another layer of interest.

Congratulations on your first anniversary.

Hello Sky,
This is my hard worker friend again!!! Happy anniversary to you and your beautiful subject :) This is another great capture of this little guy and I really envy you to have such a nice and interesting creature in your gallery. I guess that you already knew it but I learned that beavers don't have the choice to work if not, their teeth will grow too much and they will not be able to eat. This is a strange life. They are predestinated to work and work all their life :) Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Sky, to actually catch this guy in the act is amazing. He was very cooperative. You have a very good shot here. It's the closest wild beaver shot I've seen, and on ice yet. With it you have excellent detail and colour, right down to the ice on his whiskers.

Thanks, and happy anniversary (and many more), John

bonjour sky
bon anniversaire sur TN
une jolie capture,j'aime bien ce castor qui ne semble pas avoir peur de vous.
j'ai eu l'occasion de voir un ragondin nager sur la riviere mais pas d'appareil avec moi;
le ragondin est un cousin du castor.

Hi, Sky.
I wrote here critics yesterday. Today I see this has disappeared. And my useful mark was still here. I have lost myself dozens of critics. It starts to be strange already. Ok. once more.
Interesting animal for my eye. Good exposure and details. Well composed and good POV.

Hallo Sky,
meinen Glückwunsch zum "Anniversary"! Schier unglaublich, welche Fülle an eindrucksvollen Fotos Du in dieser kurzen Zeit hier präsentiert hast. Kanadas Naturschönheiten sind durch Dich und Deine frisch aus dem Leben gegriffenen Aufzeichnungen der gesegneten Natur vor Deiner Haustür in der internationalen Gemeinschaft von TN sehr präsent geworden.
Der Biber besticht durch Unmittelbarkeit und ungewöhnliche Perspektive, die dennoch alles zeigt, was ihn charakterisiert, vor allem auch seinen breiten Schwanz.
Die sanft verhaltenen Farben des Winters und die so unterschiedlich kontrastierenden Oberflächen von Eis und Schmelzwasser, Holz und Pelz fügen sich zu gelungener Komposition in vornehm reduziertem, elegant wirkendem Rahmen.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter

Another great shot! I would love to get a photo of one of these critters. I enjoy reading history on the fur trade era of North America. And it was actually the beaver that had the most impact on the setteling of North America, men looking for riches selling the beaver pelts for fine beaver hats to the rich in Europe. Don

Sky , this looks like busby with a face! Or a face with a busby! ;) Where is the famous tail?


I feel like that beaver today! I was "chewing up" wood that came down during Hurricane Juan, several years ago...
A buddy is clearing the mess on his land so I was out there getting what I can for the winter...
just like Mr./Ms. Beaver here!

Great PoV, tfs, ;j.

PS Congrats on the milestone!
