My daughter and I had ones that were just bracelets with a retractable cord between. She could get up to around four feet from me. We did a lot of hiking since she could walk, and I can't imagine going through some places without it. She's so quick and always loved to peer right over cliff sides. No fear!
Hey 😘
It's definitely getting swampy after a couple rainstorms, there's almost knee-deep standing water in some parts!
We've had a couple good rains, transforming what used to be a muddy creekbed into a clearly defined pond!
Yes! The ecosystem changes are what I'm most excited about. Not so much the mosquito swarms the next year or two, but once the rest of the food chain moves in it'll be wonderful! I have seen a heron a couple times in the swampier parts of the creekbed and if he becomes a consistent visitor to the area I'll be over the moon.
I will report back in a few weeks with more pictures! Also will probably be spamming them all over Lemmy because I just cannot shut up about how cool they are 😅
A beaver (or beavers?) moved into the creek deep in the woods behind my house last fall, and I am SO excited about the beautiful pond they are building.
