It's time to link up with my favorites memes Skywatch Friday and NF Winged.
These photos are from this past Sunday, hubby and I took the 4mile walk to the peninsula tip section our lake.
It was a chilly but pretty day, the sky was mostly clear and blue.

At the lake we saw some Mallard ducks and Canada Geese.

I like the sun shining thru the trees on the shot above.

The sun shining across the lake showing off the pretty diamonds and reflection.

See if you can find the Golden-crowned Kinglet in this shot. The kinglets were the most common bird we saw on this walk, there were large groups of them together.

On the walk back home the sky was mostly cloudy, except for this one spot.

Later that evening, I was able to watch the Turkey Vultures on their return to my woods for the night.

From my deck, I watched the vultures and somewhat of a sunset. The clouds were turning a little pinkish.
I hope you enjoyed my walk to the lake and my skies.

I just love that view from your deck, Eileen.
Hope you are enjoying your Thursday.
I absolutely cannot pick a favorite...although the diamonds on the water is pretty close to it...gorgeous!
I love going on walks and your walk looked so relaxing...love the diamonds on the lake shot!
Beautiful pictures from the nature.
Lovely photos, specially the gleam of sun on the water! Lovely to see the kinglets, they're very like our goldcrests, which can be very elusive, but i saw a lot of them last year...
Beautiful and scenic place.
the sun glinting off the lake is so pretty. i like your header bird trio, too!
Chętnie bym tam z Wami pospacerowała, bo widoki były wspaniałe. Pozdrawiam.
I wish I took a walk there with you, because the views were great. Yours.
Eileen, you live in such a beautiful place. I could stare up at that sky for hours. So far winter is very enjoyable where I live. But we are going to get an arctic blast next week. xo
What a beautiful walk on the lake Eileen!Amazing images and photos!Beautiful sky too!Have a lovely day!
Dimi..
Lovely images! Thanks for taking us along on your walk!
You are having much easier walking than we are!! I figure we make about 2 miles in the hour...
I love seeing the open water, and the brilliant sun sparkles!!
Eileen, you have such a beautiful place to walk! I love your third shot with the sun shining through the trees. Hope you have a great weekend.
Wonderful photos from your walk. I love the blue skies and the sunshine. I wish we'd have a few days like that here too!
Hi Eileen, thanks for the lovely walk to the lake. I love the sparkling water. I tried and tried but cannot spot the Golden-crowned Kinglets (I can never resist a challenge!) are they a little off-center to the left of the image of the branches? Here's wishing you a pleasant weekend with plenty of good birding and photo ops. Jo
Looks like it was a great walk! 4 miles is quite a hike; good for you!
I really like the photo of the sun shining across the lake. So dazzling!
Lovely walk you took us on today Eileen :)
Such beautiful lake views! And love those puffy cloud patterns! Gorgeous lighting!
Terrific walk you had! I really like the "sunbursts" through the trees - nice camera work!
An incredibly beautiful tour! Thank you for letting us tag along! :)
That looks like a really pretty area, Eileen!
HI Eileen, Great shots from your FOUR-mile walk... Great walk!!!!!
I too love the 2 sunshine ones. Gorgeous...
Hugs,
Betsy
Great SWF post!
I wonder if the beautiful weather has been all over the planet today because there are so many beautiful pictures of blue skies and calm water :))
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful day :)
Have a great weekend :))
What a wonderful and beautiful walk you've taken us on today, Eileen!! And, of course, I do love the sunny ones!! Hope you have a lovely weekend!! Enjoy!
Guess I would walk and walk and walk and walk ... what wonderful environment !
Thanks for taking us on your walk, too. Very enjoyable!
Very beautiful shots from your walk at the lake.
HI Eileen....One thing about winter walks is a sunny day to take of some of the chill!!
Your walk was lovely..especially since you found diamonds ; )
Grace
Such a beautiful place for a walk. The shot with the sun coming through the trees is lovely, a nice sun flare capture.
WOW - so peaceful looking ;-)
visiting from Skywatch Friday
What a pretty lake. I'd love to take one of my walks there. Wonderful pictures as always.
what a great view!! i too love the glistening water and the very special sun spots!!!
Great pictures! I especially like the sparkles on the water and the motion in the line of vultures. Amazing what can be found in a walk even to a familiar place.
I definitely enjoyed my walk through your post. Such pretty pictures. Never did find the hiding bird Guess my eyes are just too bad. I sure gave it a try. Beautiful pictures this week. genie
I love the way the sunshine sparkles on the water. This looks like a beautiful place for walks.
A beautiful lake and lovely photos. Where I live they call ponds lakes, there's no water.
Very lovely lake. Enjoying your shots!

A lovely place for a walk, I like the sparkles on the water.
What a walk, I really like walking on cold clear crisp days in the woods.
Great moody sceneries!
Calm..serene..Divine!
Heavenly captures!

lovely pics as always
Blue Sky
Indeed a delightful place to walk! Love the third shot of the sun sparkling off the water.
I loved the walk across the lake. So much to see and enjoy. Thank you. MB
Wow those two shots of the sun peeking through branches and reflecting on the water are gorgeous! Happy SWF and have a lovely weekend.xx
Looks like a lovely spot for a walk. You got some lovely photos out of it too.
Yea, I certainly did enjoy the walk, beautiful, the Turkey Vultures are the best.
Thats a peaceful lake. Lovely set of pics.
Lovely set. Love the fourth shot!
That must be a lovely walk on a crisp, clear day Eileen. You took got some lovely shots through the trees. Re your question - ideally I would like to capture birds ringed elsewhere or recaptures of my own simply because they give more information. It can't happen they way of course because of the sheer number of birds out there. Ringing is all about placing the bits of information together to provide a big picture. Have a great weekend Eileen.
Stunning pictures I love the reflection on the water. Have a fun weekend
Great photos!
Must admit, I like diamonds....so, that one with the diamonds sparkling across the watertop...magnificent Eileen.
Gorgeous!
My Sky Shots
Have a safe weekend!
Opps sorry about the link on my first comment.
These are gorgeous shots.
Have a great week Eileen!
Enjoyed it as I do all your walks Eileen! Envious of your seeing crowds of kinglets. I've only identified a couple, although I know they can be seen in Oregon.
Love the vultures coming home from work every evening. You are right on their commuting path!
Great series! Wonderful landscape!
Looks like a beautiful lake walk, and wonderful photos!
Love the vultures shot.
i like those vultures...and all the sky shots!!
AND the glittering water!!
(YOUR lake?? YOUR woods?? NICE!!!!!)
Heisann!
Wonderful photos of wonderful landscape!
Happy New Year , hugs from Bjorg Nina
Such a beautiful walking path! Aside from the vultures and miscellaneous creatures, you had seem to have the whole place to yourself.
What a lovely walk!
