Beaver dam

Went for a fantastic walk in the Gatineau Park with Malini on Sunday afternoon. We hiked right across the escarpment, from the Ottawa valley side to a stone outcrop with a view down to Meech Lake. This is a beaver dam visible from the path, about half way across. We were both bitten half to death by mosquitos and horseflies, but it was worth it. It was one of those golden June afternoons which will stick in the memory.
