So cool! This muskrat portrait is so lovely, with all the silvery background and his peaceful expression. I image muskrats are fairly underrated - I don't often hear them top-of-list for wildlife viewing, but they are really so precious!
Thanks Sydney! Yes, I've never really paid too much attention to them until the last year or so. Interesting animal and they seem so much into their own world. :)
So true! These whole intricate lives unfolding under our noses but out of our notice. This happened to us one year when a little meadow vole, who we typically never see as they live their lives in burrows and beneath grasses and mostly at night, made a winter habit of visiting a rock pile beneath our window. Endlessly cute, and the whole family was so tickled to get a peek at him!

That's an awesome experience and unforgettable encounter with Nature.
