What great photography Johann. When i saw the picture of the deer swimming I thought you meant it was a beaver and I was thinking your beavers have a lot bigger ears than the ones I’ve seen. 🙃
Have you eaten fiddleheads? Those fern heads look like they would be good to eat. In certain wet areas the ferns are quite plentiful and are always a special treat in the spring. They are cleaned and cooked in boiling water like any veggie. Then eaten with vinegar, butter, salt and pepper.

Good morning Jo,
haha, that would have been one more reason to smile if I would have thought that it was a beaver 😉 but you are right, I should have placed the photo a bit further down.
I saw a beaver a few minutes later and our beavers look the same as yours ;)
Eating ferns? I have never heard that they would be edible, but I have just had a look and read that some are actually edible, but most of the ferns here are poisonous and it is difficult to distinguish them. This might be the reason why I have never heard about cooking and eating ferns. They are said to be a delicacy in the United States and Canada and some other countries though. So, if I ever should come to America I'll try some there ;)
Thank you very much Jo, have a great day 🙂
