Signs of beaver chewing gnawing on tree in Walton County Georgia
Beaver have returned to the ponds behind the shelter. They have been quite busy building dams to re-flood the area behind the Sheriff's firing range. On my lunch break walk this afternoon I found quite a large undertaking of one Beaver. I wonder how long it will take him to chew through this large tree?

I collected some of the shavings surrounding the base. Absolutely incredible; a marvel of God's creation.  Imagine, an animal that spends all of its time working diligently to create a suitable habitat for itself and other animals... Hmmmm, I sense a Creation Speaks lesson coming on!

We made a special trip to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park with the specific hope of seeing a bear... and we weren't disappointed!  See the full gallery on the Cades Cove Trek Page.

Neighborhood White-tailed Deer eating landscaped vegetation.
I love to see the neighborhood deer. It is good to know that we humans haven't been able to eradicate every habitat and animal on the planet yet.  However, the deer love our Day Lilies. I wouldn't mind, except I paid money for them!  And now I'm forced to spend more money on deer repellent to spray on the desired vegetation. I wish the deer would just be satisfied with the persimmon tree planted in our backyard. 

I mostly see does and fawns, but this morning at 6:30 AM on my way to morning prayer, I managed to spot a young buck still in velvet chowing down at the better landscaped yard up the street. I'm sure when my neighbor awakes they too will make trip to Lowes in frustration to purchase some repellent.

Teaching "A Ready Defense"

Creation Speaks is a Biblical teaching ministry that uses nature writing and photography to glorify our Creator and teach the truth of creation. “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" Job 12:7-9

The kids and I had a lot of fun this morning looking at another lesson from God's Creation. This Creation Speaks lesson entitled "A Ready Defense" was about the "sharp and powerful" Word of God and was illustrated by the unique defense mechanisms of the skunk and porcupine. See the entire lesson on the Creation Speaks page.

Great Egret Fishing Picture

I managed to sneak up on a Great Egret (Ardea alba) fishing on the large pond behind the animal shelter during lunch break today. A bit further back in the wetlands behind the firing range, another Green Heron (Butorides virescens) was fishing from a stump.
