Here is something you will probably never see. It takes the camera freezing time to witness. This is a beavers rear feet/paws as it dives. I love how you can see the webbed foot!

When looking through older images, I found this one from 2017.

I had never noticed I got the sun star in the reflection too, not sure I have ever done that before!
