What a kind, beautiful, wise friend I have in Karen Swanson, whom I met at Lake City High School back in the 1970s and am in contact with to this day, though she lives far away now, in California, where she is an Episcopal priest. She is in town visiting her mom this month, and we hooked up last week for our favorite activity, a nature hike. This one was out to Sandy Point on Lake Pepin, on land owned by Frontenac State Park. It's an ever-changing landscape.

| Beavers have been busy changing the landscape in the area where one loop of the trail opens up along the sandy beach. The water is low after this summer of drought, and the beach is wide. |

| A beaver's handiwork, or rather, toothy-work. |
