Worth A Dam’s calendar is officially over booked. We are struggling to finish our amazing beaver habitat diorama for John Muir’s Birthday/Earthday next weekend. We were invited to attend the “Parking lot launch” for the Environmental Studies Academy students two weeks later, and we’re at the environmental fair for Wild Birds Unlimited the weekend after that. That takes us to Mother’s Day weekend and gives us two weeks off before the big train trip and beaver presentation May 27. Don’t ask about June.
In the middle of which I promised the John Muir Association I’d offer some guided beaver tours for the silent auction and have to design some certificates for them. I wanted to be dying eggs this weekend, instead I will be trying to make miniature cattails and tiny beaver chews. These pictures might be the closest I get to egg festivities, but they’re not bad. I assume you all got the identity theft warning email? If you didn’t go here: I don’t know what massive ad agency crew took these pictures but they are amazing and must represent hours and months of hard work. The email is titled “This Easter Beware of Identity Theft”.
Imagine the scope of this project: first you have to select the animals for matching and then get them to tolerate each other like old friends. I can only hope they weren’t medicated…and that the photographer was, because that must have been one stressful, animal stained photoshoot.
Anyone want to volunteer their dog or cat that looks like a beaver?
