A beaver

My husband and I had a lovely boat ride yesterday afternoon on Lake Anna. Even though the summer season has ended, there were still a lot of boaters enjoying the beautiful weather. We explored a long cove near the state park and saw a beaver swimming--the first time I have seen one in the wild. We were close enough to see its flat tail helping propel it. Jim also saw a big fish snatch a minnow. Hate to see summer end!
