Talk about being in the right place at the right time. I decided to take a walk in the Seattle arboretum when the sun came out on Sunday afternoon. I always walk by a man-made pond by the main path when I go there. Several people were pointing at and watching something in the water. No one had seen a beaver in this pond before and I have no idea where it was living or why it had ventured into this pond.
