Didn't know we had beavers down here in Florida, so the first time I saw a dam I assumed it was manmade. Figured a buncha rednecks chunked cut tree waste to make a pond.

The pond is beautiful. All kinds of flora and fauna flourishing in there. Carnivorous pitcher plants, amphibians, fish popping off at sundown, all that. Where it drains, it makes a clear creek that is stunning to behold. Again, all kinds of life in there.

Had some great pics but it looks like my ex-gf deleted our shared album. :(
