Flora and Fauna
Fruitful fauna photograph night. First, I was able to see several turtles sunning themselves in the late afternoon. They favor felled tree trunks.
Then I happened upon a baby beaver chomping away at the greenery in the scenery. He was so busy he didn't notice me before I was able to get this pic of him. Then of course he dove into the river.
If you enlarge the pic and look closely you'll see an intense pair of eyes peering out at you, the same look I saw gliding by and watching this handsome fox near the water. It's been quite dry after a mostly rainless July. Fauna is thirsty!
These are rather cool looking puffs of flora.
Tree roots are fascinating.
Lotus flowers, so beautiful, grow up out of the mud and muck.
These are the things motorboats miss. It takes presence and silence to witness humble beauty.

roots can be shallow or deep. if there's too much confinement (ie, over-protection by parents, etc) the roots in a container planting can stiffle and choke the plant. Metaphor: be a big container and let your kids play in a lot of dirt so their roots can reach deep and stable by the way they live
