Flawtography By Dan” - Episode #008

The Common Muskrat (native to Alberta)

I’ve mentioned the muskrats we’ve come across in our neighbourhood several times before. I’ve seen two, and coming home from work late one night, Mrs. That Dan Guy spotted TWO together, walking along the road in the dark.

Well, she had the presence of mind to take a picture on her cell phone, and voila! The common muskrat, as it is classified here. There must be swankier muskrats elsewhere, but it is still exciting to spot even a common one.

It’s easy to see from the picture why I thought the first one I saw was a beaver – they are almost identical, aside from the tell-tale flat tail on beavers.

Nature – it is often all around us!
 
Please, ask permission if you plan on using it anywhere...

Chow for now!

Ah yes! I just love it when you are trying to take a picture of a moment, a rare sighting, with mere seconds to go (well many seconds in this case, those muskrats move like they are turtles!)and click....nothing but flawtograhpy man! Sigh.....
PS I have to confess, when I clicked they were both under the street light, and I STILL managed to capture only darkness....ugh!
