My house is one of six in the neighborhood that is close to a watershed and just a walk away from the lake. It is like having a park right outside our door. I was born in a city of townhouses (row houses) and I can definitely say I am not a city girl any more. I love my neighborhood. My hubby and I and our dog are always taking walks on the fireroads around the reservoir.

My goldie loves swimming in the lake.

On the lower side of the lake is a dam and the state park.

Another great thing about my house and neighborhood is the birds. I get to see some great birds.
The woodpeckers are one of my favorites, I see the Redbellied woodpeckers, Pileated, Downy, Hairy Woodpecekers, Northern Flickers, and the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. A few times I have seen Bald Eagles fly over my house and sometimes I see them in the trees near the lake. The deer are always nearby, once in my yard eating birdseed. Hunting season started recently so the hunters are parked up and down the street. We have to be careful walking in the woods now.

Very nice Eileen!
Looks like a great place to be! :)
Your hawk might be a Red-tailed or Sharp-shinned Hawk.
Cheers, Klaus
Eileen: what a neat look at this part of your world. I was thinking the hawk is a Cooper's Hawk. Take a look at them.
You are lucky to live in your world. What beautiful feathered neighbors you have.
Your world is beautiful. Great shots of the lake, trails and the birds.
It must be nice to live so close to the water and be surrounded by the park and all its wildlife.
Your photos are wonderful, thanks for the journey.
So lovely. We have a lot of the same critters!
Your views are really gorgeous, Eileen. Thanks for these.
That looks like a wonderful place. I liked the photos very much. I live about a mile from a state park and It's great to walk around and see all of the trees and wildlife.
I can see why you love living here - it's beautiful, and looks very peaceful. I'm enjoying your photos!

What a marvelous place that you live, and it has been this unspoiled 20 years. Thanks for sharing.
That's what I'm aiming for - a city girl moving out closer to nature and maybe then I'll learn to take such great bird photos like You.
