Against the current
I watched from a concrete footbridge across this creek as this beaver swam toward me. It proceeded to climb the bridge, check out my boots, and then crawl back into the creek and proceed upstream as I stood frozen. It was an amazing experience with a wild creature, and unfortunately I didn't have the presence of mind to pull out my cell phone camera until it was on its way back into the creek. Lost Valley Trail in Weldon Spring Conservation Area outside of St. Louis.
