Night Falling on a Beaver Pond

As night falls, the bright reflections of the evening sky give way to the mystery of the shadows on this beaver pond in Dolly Sods Wilderness on the Allegheny Front. I'd visited this small pond before, even camping on its banks one night long ago. I've always found it calming as I listened to the bird, insect, and beaver noises that only happen at such places. True to the intermittent nature of Nature, however, the pond has dried up in recent years and this scene is but a beautiful memory.
