Spreading out between the two aspen trees is a fairly large beaver pond. Looking just right of center, in the shadows, and you'll see the beaver's hut.

Beavers were introduced into Lundy Canyon a long time ago. In recent years they have been spreading to other nearby creeks in the Mono Lake Basin such as Wilson Creek and DeChambeau Creek.

With a healthy groves of aspen trees throughout Lundy Canyon, it's easy to see how they have "taken root" here. It’s also a popular spot for photographers to capture the beauty of the fall season along the Eastern Sierras.

Amongst a crowd of young aspen trees stands a single pine tree. Hard to say who established roots here first, but I'm guessing the taller conifer tree. Once you sink roots as a tree, well there's no changing places. The pine tree will have to compete for water and sun light. But on the bright side, that pine gets to watch those aspen trees display their fall colors every year.
