I explored the glamorous life of nature photography this weekend by camping out next to one of the biggest beaver lodges I’ve ever seen. This one was easily six feet high and 20 feet long. Hung out there on a very cold evening for a few hours and never saw the rodent.

I took this shot just as it was getting dark and just before packing up my gear for the evening. I’ll probably give this another shot when I return to this area later this spring or early summer.
