This beaver in #AlgonquinPark must know there is a massive snowstorm soon to start here in #Ontario, #Canada. This was 1 of 6 busy beavers filling up for the coming storm later today. #nature #beaver #animal #wilderness #weather
There are no crowds here.
I like that.

A quotation from Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my childrenβs lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Poem (1968-11), βThe Peace of Wild Things,β Green River Review, Vol. 1, No. 1

In the 19th century, Americans idealized wilderness, which they defined as natural areas without people in them. The issue with this, of course, was that the βwildernessβ areas that they wanted to turn into national parks had people in them.
So what was it like for the people who lived in these βwildernesses,β what happened to them, and what evidence is left of their lives?
