I am linking up with Simple Things Sunday and Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
I was so happy to wake up this Sunday morning and finally see some blue sky and sunshine. Our weather lately has been mostly cloudy and raining. Since, working all week I enjoy getting outside on the weekend to take a walk with hubby and our dog. And to do a little bird watching is always a simple pleasure for me.

One of our favorite places to take an early morning walk this weekend was at the Loch Raven Reservoir.
On the weekend the road around the Loch Raven reservoir is closed to car traffic and open to people walking, biking and jogging. We usually see families out with their young children on their little bikes. Today we took our Goldie Girl.
Sometimes I try to arrange our walks where a certain bird has been seen hanging out. This time I was looking for the Eurasian Wigeon. I did find a couple of American Wigeons which I have in the mosaic above. We also saw lots of Gulls, Canada Geese and Ring-necked Ducks.

We watched one family with a cute toddler feeding the geese and gulls. The toddler seemed to be enjoying all the birds he was attracting with the bread.

The walk along the road is pretty with the tall pine trees and the reservoir. I hope you enjoyed my Sunday morning walk. Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the comments as well.

Blue sky and a wonderful walk for you and a dog. Which had a watch. Yours.
Love your walks and sights!
Another beautiful walk, Eileen!
Wow! So lovely to see blue skies and places to walk ~ magnificent photography as always ~ ^_^
Beautiful and scenic. A walk here will rejuvenate one.
That's a beautiful place! It attracts a lot of birds and waterfowl.
i think it's just wonderful that they close that road to car traffic, it encourages people to bike and walk in a safe environment!!
your mosaics and pictures are beautiful!!
Oh, that is a lovely place to walk!!! Thanks for taking us along with you. I so much enjoyed it!
Eileen - As always, your photos bring a smile to my face. It looks like you had a most wonderful weekend!
Eileen a peaceful walk with Nature.
Your comment made my heart sing! Thank you blogging friend! Have a beautiful week!
hugs
Beautiful pictures and brings the hope of spring! We finally had nice weather today as well, but more rain tomorrow.
Enjoy seeing all the water birds--- we have zillions of canadian geese. Our's eat too much during the summer, they can't fly any further south. They just hang out here year round now. Nice ducks!! And sea gulls. You're close enough to the bay! We lived in Crofton, Md. - outside of Annapolis for a short time and I thought it funny to see sea gulls in the parking lot so far inland!
What a lovely walk! We have snow and grey skies, so thanks for taking me along with you.
Hi Eileen! I just happened to come across your blog and it's about loving nature. I just went for a nature walk in my country only yesterday morning to watch migratory birds and a few other wildlife animals. It was such an adventure and I can imagine how it's like for you all the time.
I love ducks/ and I can never differentiate them. All I know is that they travel in pairs :)

Looks like the perfect weekend! I haven't seen the American wigeon since leaving Texas. What a treat. Thank you!
YAY! A fabulous weekend -- beautiful weather, wonderful birds. You arrange your mosaics so perfectly. Love everything about this post; thanks for taking us along on your walk.
A lovely place to take the dog and kids and enjoy the peace and the birds. Valerie
What a great place to walk. Blue skies are so welcome at this time of year. Love those Canada Geese giving you the eye. Suspicious critters, aren't they?
That was a fine Sunday morning walk Eileen - I feel a lot better now. Waht a good idea closing the road to traffic so that people can enjoy the walk in safety and (relative) silence. I enjoyed seeing your American Wigeon and Rng-necked Duck shots. Here ona Sunday walk you could substitute them with Eurasian Wigeon and Tufted Duck.
Stunning photos and yes, it was so nice to get a look at the sun again. : )
There is just an unending supply of wildlife just a stone's throw away from you. Those Canadian geese are so pretty!
Great series, and your dog is looking good. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful birds on a pond, love 'em. And there is of course, Goldie Girl, special.
Thanks as always for taking us on the walk with you through your wonderful captures, Eileen! A marvelous series! Always love seeing Goldie Girl! She's so beautiful! Hope you have a great week!
A sunny blue sky makes such a pleasant change, beckoning us to enjoy the great outdoors. The perfret time for a walk.
This looks like a wonderful place to take weekend walk, Eileen. There is s much wildlife there! I'm sur eyour Golide girl loves to stroll along with you.
A delightful post. Beautiful blue skies and fabulous scenery!
Great photos and beautiful blue skies in all of them. That is such a good idea to close the park to traffic during the week-end.
It looks like spring is coming to your part of the world and you are looking forward to it.
I always enjoy these walks with you Eileen.
Have a wonderful week.
This is a great place for a walk, and a lovely day to do it on. Wonderful post as always Eileen.
Must be a great walk on sunday morning! Lovely birds!
Those blue skies look wonderful! And so welcome after days of grey, I'm sure.
Lovely pictures.
The birds in flight it makes such a wonderful picture. Great series.
Isn't it great when the weather clears up so that you can go for a walk. I am still waiting for it to stop raining after a week of it. However, I loved the virtual walk with you. Great scenery and lovely birds.
It's such a great feeling to get out & about after being housebound due to the weather, isn't it?! Glad your jaunt was so productive!!!
What a great series, Eileen!
Warm greetings from Holland,
Anna :D
