No Beavers wanted to show themselves for a photo, but I could see their ongoing work on the birch tree to the left

All comments are most wellcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

Oh my. Such a pretty view and nicely angled. I hope you don't come back in a year and find this area devastated. I have seen first hand the work of the beavers. lol I think in some cases they do something beneficial, but sometimes not.

Great capture Susanne, I can see the beaver hut. We have beavers near our house and they are always swimming around. They are really cool animals to watch. Beautiful colours and reflections in the water.

Whoa...that birch tree is about ready to go. What a beautiful shot, Susanne. That lake is so calm, beautiful and reflective...and I love the pines in the shot also. Another stunning picture.

The beavers have done their preparations very well Susanne.
As soon as you're gone they will finish their work.
Great post again!

A wee too much foreground perhaps and I'd lock the left tree to the left side of the frame, as well as raise up the perspective. Still, it lOOks like a super sweet spot to reflect and think S-girl!!

Wow!! that beaver has been busy on that tree!! We don't have beavers over here. And by the looks of that tree, it might be a good thing. LOL. A good capture with excellent reflections. Lyn.

Great shot! One would would wonder why the job wasn't finished. I took my little saw with me on bike rides down my favourite trail, just to clear away trees felled by beavers. Thanks for another one to save.

Timber or whatever beavers yell. I like the scene very much. The unfelled tree adds character. Great shot Susanne.

Amazing, it looks like it's about to topple. I didn't realise you still have beavers in Sweden, they have been extinct in the UK for years - like so much other wildlife I guess - although they are talking about reintroducing them. I like the long view you have in this photo, with the reflections in the lake and the coolness of the silver birch trees.
