Critters and Crusts!: REVISED :-}

Before hunting season started, we took one last ride into the woods.

We stopped and saw some streams where the ice had already started to freeze them, and we saw a few woods' creatures just to make the day a success.

I saw this foam on the side of a rapids, and noticed that the foam had frozen into the most amazing shapes:

And we saw this creature swimming way far out in a dam.

Can you guess what it is?

Here is a hint: it's tail is stuck on a branch, and it is a playful animal:

Didn't guess yet?

I will give you one more view in a minute.


This little guy was so busy eating seed pods, he stayed on top of that log and let me take about 15 pictures of him. He was so cute!:


One more of the frozen river foam:

(Doesn't it look like frozen threads?):



Here is ONE more view of the mystery critter:I am going to be cruel and not tell you what animal it is until you make guesses in the comments section of this blogpost.

The first one to guess gets mention in a future blogpost!

Just because I feel like playing with you today!

I've gotta have SOME fun with my blog, don't I????

REVISED: obviously, it would have really helped if I hadn't put the words "OTTER PHOTOGRAPHS" in my post labels. hahaha DUH. But Lorac got the answer first...stop by her blog, it has some great photography too!
