The weeks are rolling along pretty fast Oct 1 is already here, I am just not sure what happened to September. I am linking up with Our World Tuesday . Are the days and weeks flying by for you too?
For this weeks post I have some photos of our walk around the reservoir near our house, the lake is just a walk away or we can drive around to another part of the lake by going over the dam.
In the mosaic above, is the moon I saw early this morning, one of my male goldfinches, our woods, and the dam. I am lucky living next to these woods and the lake, it is probably the main reason I see so many great birds in my yard.
Above is a neat web, more of the woods and lake and our Goldie Girl.
The moon was looking gorgeous before setting early this morning.
One of my cute male Goldfinches is loosing his pretty summer feathers. I do see the goldfinches here year round.
The top of the dam is also a road which will takes us around to the other side of the lake. Not sure if much water was going over the dam at this time. Sometimes they can open the bottom gates and let water out to river below the dam.
Goldie Girl is in of one her happy places.
A large spider's web off of one of the trails we were hiking, it was huge! The bottom left looks like it has a rainbow of colors. Looks cool!
On this trail, depending on the time of year I have seen many Scarlet Tanagers a breeder in the area and just recently I saw the cute Red-Breasted Nuthatches.
To see more wonderful photos and mosaics please visit Our World Tuesday

What a beautiful neighborhood!!!
Your photos are amazing.
I wish you a safe and happy week too...
So many pretty things to see on your walks! I love that trail...and of course, Goldie Girl is so pretty there in her swimming hole!
I would love to live in a place like this.
I was impressed by the large spider web.
Happy new month!
Herrliche Aufnahmen...

That is a wonderful variety of habitat. I miss all the fun of woodlands birding here in Florida. We have relatively few perching birds here during the breeding season. I look forward to getting up to our second home in Illinois to see the Scarlet Tanagers amd goldfinches.
Hi Eileen, I'm back in the world of blogging, thank goodness! Thanks for your continued support and comments even when I was "absent". I just LOVE your neighborhood. You capture everything so well, and of course, my favorite is the one of Goldie Girl! What a love! Have a great day. Jo
Such gorgeous photos . . . each one capturing the essence of the season.
Really liked seeing the happy swimming boy . . . Soon the waters will be to chilly! Having fun while he can!!!
What a gorgeous place you live in, don't think I've seen photos of all this before. Just such a fabulous place to walk and see... lucky Goldie Girl... my two labs would love to be able to swim every day - but then they'd be off chasing ducks and geese and I might never get them back...
Great post Eileen - loved walking along with you. Happy October 1
You live in a beautiful part of our world and filled with interesting birds.
oh...i LOVE the moon...and the spiderweb...and the 'dam' road...and goldie girl of course!! have a great week eileen!

Your place is the most desirable abode not only for nature lovers!
Very nice close up of the moon!
What a beautiful neighborhood Eileen and what a lovely dog you have.
Lucky you.
What happened to September?
It was kept in your blog.
It's always great to see Goldie Girl enjoying a swim. Your birdlife is wonderful and I love the photo of the spider's web. All your photos are super Eileen. Have a great week!

You live in a nice area. I love the pic of the happy dog in the water and the great spiderweb.
A lovely collection Eileen - those woods sure look inviting. What a spectacular web, complete with its own rainbow! Thanks for sharing (and dropping by my blog). May you have an exciting week.
What a beautiful series of photos, it must be wonderful having such a lake nearby.
What a beautiful area you live in...a woods and a lake! that spider web is gorgeous.
The shot of the moon is fantastic. I always enjoy your bird shots. Great shot of the web and also the woods. Goldie girl is a beauty.
It must be wonderful to be living in such a beautiful place next to a wood! Lovely pictures!
Dearest Eileen,
So sorry for belated comment, my friend.
What wonderful shots again♬♬♬ I enjoyed all the pictures from beautiful moon, dam, your lovely bird and dog(^_^)v Oh, how I wish to live the place like yours; and someday (if possible) I wish to visit Yellowstone (haha, maybe just a dream)
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Lovely shots, especially the spider web is beautiful!
Beautiful pictures, the spider web is superb.
Amazing shots. What a glorious spider's web and huge golden moon.
The days are whizzing by here too!
Fantastic shots of very nice variety.
I wanted that Spider web so much. I have never photographed a perfect one. One day, we were in my boss's car going for a workshop. We were in a jam, and hardly moving. I saw 2 perfect webs, but I couldn't ask the boss to stop.
Beautiful and lovely photos!
Great pictures / collages showing.
The moon, spider web of and your dog are my favorites.
Wish you a good Tuesday :)
Hanne Bente
You are welcome to our cottages any time Eileen !
We have even Goldie Kiki so your Goldie no need to be alone :)
Thank you for your enjoyable photos and visitng my place eilen!
Good October to you and yours!
It's always a wonderful experience to see your surroundings! Your photos show a happy beautiful country!
The spiderweb is perfect!
I love the moon shot, and the damn. Your goldfinch almost tricked me into thinking it was an evening grosbeak for a moment! Enjoy the autumn! Thanks for commenting on my blog!
Brilliant Eileen, that spider really can produce a whopping web, and Golden Girl, well, she always stole my heart away.
this handsome goldfinch was caught with his mouth full! great captures--love the spider web. and Goldie Girl is a sweetheart!
Love this... such a gorgeous photo's, Eileen!
Greetings, Anna :))
you do live at a great place. Hope you will never move. :) I liked the look of the dam. I´m not sure you have posted that before.
Teh spider web is really great. I guess it had water on as it shines so nicely. :)
I love your walk! That morning moon is amazing....we have the Lake here too, but not nearly as many birds as you do and I know why == because we don't have the bird-friendly yard. Your yard work pays off with all your wonderful visitors. Thanks for sharing your walk.
Looks like a lovely place to live. I especially like the shots of the moon, the wooded path, and spider web. My blog
Wish I could join you on your walks, beautiful scenery, cute birds, and the adorable dog! Lovely pictures!
Your shots are lovely - what a cute pup and I love that huge web!
It's a beautiful place to live. Love the photo of the goldie girl...
