The Beaver Pond

My dad dreamed of having a pond again at his childhood home. After another dam blowout, it is time to start again.

The Beaver Pond

1999 Danny, Shanna and Austin taking turns snacking on a beaver stricken tree. The Hurricanes from 1996 and recent years toppled many trees at our Old Home Place. On site is a water stream which was used to create a "mill pond" in the early 1900's. One of the hugh stone grain grinders was still lying around. The dam to the mill pond had blown out a few times and many hardwood trees had grown in the wetlands. Beavers decided it was a good place to reside.

Danny and I at Hilton Head July 17, 2008. It was our 21st anniversay. I made a picture ornament using Photoshop Elements. I am trying to learn digital scrapbooking and currently have to intensly follow step by step instructions. But, I love the outcome.
