I did see your other spotting. I reckon it must have been someone's pet or 4H animal that escaped! Beautiful regardless! ....and you must take me to this special lake! Gotta catch me a beaver! (no jokes!)

This was at Prospect Park on 44th in Wheat Ridge...I was sitting watching the ducks and it was really getting dark, and the duck silhouettes and reflections were really neat, and all of a sudden this big flat guy comes swimming towards the shore!! I want to go look sometime too! I took a lot of pics but my camera had a hard time focusing...even had it on ISO 4000...very hard...did you see the other spotting I entered??? THAT was a shocker too!!! Same lake... ;-)
