damage

Jericho Beach Park

in terms of recent photographic opportunities, winter has been the winner with consistent months of dismal, and occasionally icy weather...on the few clearer days the damage has become evident...the victim here is a willow tree, one of many felled around the pond by a voracious beaver...might have to take a brief break at this moment, so many plans scotched by the damp, grey conditions

Still, this is a beautiful image. Your composition is spot on and this looks like a lovely place. Hope other Willows are surviving nicely.

It is tough when it is grey and driech, but still my favourite season here. Things will start sprouting soon - remember patience is genius!

What a gorgeous composition, I mean I am not happy about what the beavers have done, in spite I do like this image. Fine work David. V ps: the human presence adds extra excitement.

Great image of the fallen tree in the icy water. v

Wow, that is pretty amazing that a beaver could fell a tree of such size. A sad but beautiful documentary capture of this scene. V.

Beaver: the chain saws of the animal world. The park is a lovely place for a leisurely stroll. V

Apparently a dead tree can harbour more life than a living one, so I'm told.

Great capture of this scene. Nice light and color. V

Sorry to see the damage the winter has brought. I saw a large beautiful pine down yesterday from the ice, snow and wind damage. Nice capture V

What a beautiful scene David! Love your compo and info! V

Now I know where the term busy beaver comes from :0) A great capture

Oh my, poor willow tree! As Jane said, nice orange tones. Our weather has been for ages so grey, no sun, only snowing and snowing. Very bad photo options. Waiting so much for the spring to come, I think it's on it's way ... V

An interesting winter scene. Spring will soon be here!

Who knew about the beavers? This is a wonderful story telling image with such great tones and exposure! V

Bryan Murahashi		10-Feb-2013 05:40
Those beavers look very busy. Nicely captured. V

Very nice place so nicely captured here.V.

Micky Waby		10-Feb-2013 04:44
Looks like a good place to stretch your legs,even on such a cold day.Gee the beavers sure create havoc!

peterjay45		10-Feb-2013 04:18
That is a very large tree for beaver to tackle. Spring seems close, David, even here.

Margot W		10-Feb-2013 01:53
I had no idea they would tackle such a large tree. Interesting photo and I like being able to look beyond to the walker on the path.

Jim Coffman		10-Feb-2013 00:46
We have beaver problems around here also. Nice capture,David!

janescottcumming		10-Feb-2013 00:36
A shame to lose a big willow tree. Looks like a nice place for a walk. I like the orange tones on the branches. Hope your weather improves. Might be best to stay home, have a nice drink and work on some music until the sun comes out again.
