“Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will trap me
ToolsGenesis 4:14
Guess what we saw yesterday?
This little dam is looking so substantial it can be seen from the bridge. I called Moses and implored him to take a look. He just stopped by after seeing a big and little beaver this morning. He saw a big beaver and a little beaver. Footage will follow soon. Hurray we have beavers! Hurray Martinez is complete again!
Here’s the almost yearling who was born this October.
And a parent. Moses saw but wasn’t able to film a second, larger beaver. So that’s the whole fam-damily!
Since sundays are for joyful news only, I thought I would share some wonderful images from the newly translated book fittingly called “Welcome Home, Beaver” by Marcus Weightman of Rotterdam. He is an architect turned author that has created the most delightful story book.
The story follows and adventurous beaver who leaves his home (ahem) and can’t find his way back. His buddy brings a hot air balloon to help him search and he eventually finds many homes that aren’t his.
After traveling to the artic, the prairie, and africa to see the many amazing homes of wildlife living underground he finds his way home to North America and is happy to reunite with his family.
Trust me, You need this book. This delightful look at the intricate homes of wildlife gives a new name to the very idea of over/under images. You can pick up your copy here.
