Yesterday Worth A Dam headed over to the John Muir Mountain Day Camp to give a presentation on our Martinez Beavers. 35 children came for a slideshow and presentation, given in the cool, thick-walled adobe where Muir’s daughter lived for many years.
There were plenty who said their parents or grandparents had taken them down to see the beavers, and plenty of awwws about the adorable baby mink photo. We answered questions, introduced the beaver chew and the skulls (Wishpoosh you were a hit!) and then headed outside to invite them to draw pictures of things that lived in the creek on the cermaic tiles.
In addition to great questions and enthusiasm there was amazing artwork, 35 6×6 amazing artworks to be exact. One of our favorites was this finely scaled fish leaping to catch a dragon fly dinner. Wouldn’t these look lovely, framed in blue tile, and laid on the cement of the Marina Vista Bridge?
