Exploration Date


Tom and I went for a walk today as it was, undoubtedly, the first “tee-shirt” weather of the year. I had a lot of fun getting out and seeing the wildlife and just resting at the park in the sun for a while. I’m excited for summer.

I saw a beaver in real life today!! A REAL ONE.
I was like, wtfisthat? It’s swimming in THEOMGIT’SABEAVER.
Tom couldn’t stop laughing.
She’s not in the picture because I’m lame and I spent too much time gaping at the fact that it was a real beaver practically chilling in our back yard instead of taking a picture.

This bridge over the river is a suspension bridge, so when the wind blows it blows with. It was a bit shaky and I was convinced it was going to break while I was on it and send us spilling into the river, but Tom assured me it was safe.

I am convinced otherwise. Anything that is free to blow with the breeze isn’t something I want to be walking on. Though it was kind of cool.

Once I got onto the bridge I spent a bit of time staring at the river. It’s quite the change going from having such a huge body of water within five minutes to none at all. At least that’s what I thought. Then we found this river. I’ll spend a lot of days down here, for sure. I imagined these water stars were galaxies floating just out of reach for a while. So beautiful.


We spent some time resting in the grass at the park and ran into Jim, who was out taking video of his own little adventure. He took our picture (I love this one, despite it’s lack of framing.) and chatted for a bit then went on his way.

(Some of his videos are at the end of the gallery, if you’re interested!)

    Eeeee it’s you guys! <3 These photos are so beautiful, and so are you! I swear you’re glowing in that couple shot. Or sparkling. Or something. Where did you go? This place looks great! I went exploring as well today and wondered how you two would enjoy the deep forest, haha. Though we don’t have beavers anymore, we do have muskrats! They play together and flap their tails on the water (in the marsh with the island).

    p.s. I don’t know for sure if I’ll be up here (the farm) next weekend but if not, Toronto adventure? :)

    i saw a beaver once in real life… i was in british columbia with a friend and we trying to cross a creek… we climbed on top of a beaver dam and saw what looked like a beaver floating beside it… i poked it with a stick and it was hard. :( r.i.p. beaver.

    this post makes me want to go on adventures in the wilderness. where were you?
