River Walk

While I was down at our family property a few weeks ago, Piper and I took a number of lovely walks along the river.

We saw that beavers had been hard at work felling trees and building dams.

Everything was beautifully green - lacy ferns were popping up in the woods,

and unfurling along the riverbank.

Piper waded into the river to get a drink and was surprised by the current and sat down abruptly in the chilly water.

It didn't really faze her - she loves the water. She tries to go swimming almost every time she gets near the bay or river. It keeps her coat nice and shiny.
