those goslings are getting pretty big! love the wild roses. and the serenity in your header photo is lovely!
ReplyDeleteHave you checked the font that is being used? Sometimes I have to change it back to default, or Times New Roman...blogger does some strange things these days!
ReplyDeleteLoved the journey along the canal and the history lesson! Great photos!
You see a nice variety of wildlife on your walks. We had a treat...a juvenile Ibis was in our backyard yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure glad you and hubby like to walk along the C&O Canal Trail! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI just love that photo of the turtles Eileen. What a wonderful walk this must have been!
ReplyDeleteAs always your pictures are grand. Love the picture of the turtles!!! Have a grand week! Cathy
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing place to visit. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing all the wildflowers, birds, and even the scarier things...that black snake! Is it a goal of yours to hike the entire 180 something miles of this canal someday?
ReplyDeleteYou all live in the greatest area --where you have so many great walking and hiking areas. That is AWESOME... We love hiking but have to drive awhile in order to get to some good ones.....
ReplyDeleteLove all of your pictures of 'your world'....
Hugs,
Betsy
I've walked along the C&O Canal in the Georgetown, Washigton DC area. It is beautiful! I wish I could walk more of the trail one day to see all you have, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, it's always such a joy to see what magnificent creatures you come across this week. The pictures of the flowers are lovely also. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Hi Eileen, You've captured Mother Nature at her best with the wildflowers, and the wildlife. I see why you and your husband love this beautiful place along the river. Lovely photographs. Love the geese family.

ReplyDeletethose cute little goslings aren't as cute anymore!!

ReplyDeleteThe wheel lock or clamp here as is known. The windsurf vehicle looks like one of it's kind. The owner clamped it himself. He says the gear are very expensive.
Here in NZ, the "clamper" has the second hated job after the meter reader.
You can imagine some of the privilages early American explorers had when venturing out into untouched virgin territory. What a clean healthy pristine environment they were able to experience, only to give it away to those who would exploit it's raw materials and other natural resources.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely walk. Also very nice photos of the dark iris.
ReplyDeleteI am a lizard man, they turn me on. You certainly have a nack of finding things, like, on a canal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen. River walks are so wonderful - so much to see. You are in summer there and we are in winter. It has been raining and blowing a gale all day, and the power has only just come back on after been off all day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some of your corner of the world.
Morning Eileen, love the header photo. How I would love the walk, and to see the turtles. Love Jackie in Surrey, UK.
ReplyDeleteHi there - great set of pictures. I always think seeing a snake is a bit of a highlight!
ReplyDeleteStewart M
What a great spot. The Irises were fabulous and those turtles and geese were great sights. Not too keen on the snake however.
ReplyDeleteA happy geese family goes sight seeing in the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou captured some pretty sights on that neat trail.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great week Eileen!
Looks like a GREAT place to visit! Beautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteYou find some really beautiful places to go hiking, Eileen. I like how you appreciate, and can identify, the wildlife you see on those excursions. The header photo shows a wonderful location! Enjoy your day.

ReplyDeleteI would very much enjoy walking that trail. I have never seen a Prothonotary warbler but I do know they breed in some places around Ontario. Good for you for getting a photo of it. Warblers rarely stay still.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful walk. glad you had an enjoyable moment.
ReplyDeleteFound my way here by way of 'Our World Tuesday'.
ReplyDeleteA serene setting for a stroll and chance opportunities for gorgeous captures too.
H Eileen, Herons, Egrets, and Turtles, oh my! Beautiful set of pictures. The first view of the river with the frame of the trees is very nice. I also love the purple Iris. Have a wonderful Tuesday tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great trail with all the flowers and wildlife. Mama goose and her little ones seem to be enjoying your company. The Prothonotary Warbler is very handsome, I have never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous captures of such a peaceful, beautiful place, Eileen! What a wonderful walk you've taken us on! I love all the birds/ducks/turtles! Your header is fantastic! Hope you have a great week!
