This morning I woke hubby up early to take a walk before it got too hot and humid. We drove around the lake so we could walk on a trail that goes right up to our lake. So these are some shots from our walk and a few shots from an early morning walk around my yard.

I was awake early enough to see the super moon setting, looked pretty thru the trees, a little pink clouds during the sunrise, and Goldie Girl at the lake.
Along the trail, I could hear the Hooded Warblers and lots of Northern Parulas and Ovenbirds. None of which I could get photos of but, they were still nice to see and hear.

Some more scenes from our walk on the trail and lake. I believe the Cardinal is a juvenile.

The fireroad or trail, it is lush and green and a beautiful place for a morning walk.

Back in my yard, the spirea, some clematis is mixing in with our blueberry bushes. Another type of clematis is still blooming on my fence, a bluejay with a mouthful of peanuts and a cute Tufted Titmouse.

It is amazing to see how many peanuts the bluejays can stuff into their mouths.

The Tufted Titmouse are cute birds, I love this closeup.

This clematis vine seems to be mixing in with our blueberry bushes. I have not seen any blueberries ripe enough for picking unless the birds are getting to them before me.

This seem to be a young cardinal, I love that look!

Another clematis vine we have growing on our fence, it seems to keep putting out more blooms.
I hope you enjoyed my walk, post and photos. Thanks for visiting my blog. I always appreciate your comments.

Your clematis is huge! I'm lucky to get a few inches growth each year.
Love the little cardinal. Have a super Sunday Eileen.
I love the pictures of the lake I feel like I went on the walk with you.
Always nice photos, variety too. I like the young cardinal, the fallen log on the path . . . and "Miss Golden" in for a swim!
Such great photo's Eileen.The lake and surroundings are beautiful and so peacefull.your bird photo's are as always the best. have a nice week.
SMILE what a beautiful walk thanks for taking us along. What a joy to see the little bluejay eating peanuts.
Love Leanne
It is hot and humid here right now and your pictures are lovely and cooling! :) I can almost smell the sweet wood scent and the water. Bird shots are adorable...especially the little titmouse, who, along with chickadees, was my grandmother's favorite bird :)
Que beleza ver tantas fotos assim lindas! ADOREI! beijos,chica
Hi Eileen,
How refreshing! I can feel the cool air on the water and in the trees! The little, winged wonders are absolutely darling! Fabulous, colourful and lively photos!
Have a wonderful week!

I always love seeing the birds you've photographed and today you have pretty flowers, too. But my favorite photo of all is the trail! Look how green and lush it looks! Like you're entering another world! WOW!
A lovely walk, it so amazing to see the things that remembered, nice moon and all the birds.
Thanks for sharing your walk with us - so many pretty things in nature to see.
Have a great week.
What a lovely walk!
The trail looks cool and tranquil. Hope the bugs didn't "bug ya"!
Goldie Girl in the lake captured my attention immediately...what a doll!
Hi Eileen, Wow you have the most beautiful trails to walk and the scenery is stunning! I love the snap of Goldie Girl enjoy a dip in the lake. You have a beautiful yard with amazing birds and flowers. I so enjoyed my walk with you Eileen. Have a lovely week.

Wonderful walk...I enjoyed the photos so much and the descriptions, too. Lots of wonderful bird captures! I think tufted titmouses are adorable, too. Tufted titmice?
Awww Goldie Girl in the lake is so cute. I love seeing dogs swim! Love the shots of the blue jay eating peanuts. That's so funny!
Lovely photos and mosaics! I love seeing the birds, but my fav. shot is of the trail complete with fallen log. All the rain this spring has made everything so green and lush..
Such pretty bird photos - and the clematis is stunning. Love the mosaics.
The walk in the woods must have been cool and fresh. Goldie Girl knows how to cool off. The birds are always an interesting part of your posts. Have a great week. Valerie
oh I love these walks with you Eileen - your forests are so different to ours.
I wanted to email you a link about lemon curd (or lemon butter) as I saw your note on Mosaic Monday, but I couldn't see an "email me" link - so here is a link! I hope you don't mind me posting here - http://lifeimagesbyjill.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/lemons-and-lemon-butter.html
Have a wonderful week Eileen.
What a great walk with you Eileen - your photos are terrific and tell such a lovely story... thanks so much for sharing with everyone.
I do so love to see your part of the world and the beautiful nature that surrounds you and of course your darling Goldie Girl... what a doll that dog is. I wonder how she and my two labs would get along. I think she'd have them whipped into shape in no time don't you?
awwww smart goldie, cooling off in the lake!! smart getting up and out early, it was so hot today!!
i saw a young cardinal in my yard this morning, it looked exactly like yours. is that a male or a female??
Loved this post. Goldie Girl sure looks like she's enjoying being in the water. You took some really nice photos.
Beautiful and scenic place with such lovely birds.
Birds and blooms go together, don't they? I see Goldie Girl is cooling off in the lake.
Have a good week Eileen.

What a lovely set of photos! The Super Moon, sweet critters, beautiful flowers, all that lush green - what more could one ask for? :-)
I'd love to hike down that beautiful woodland trail - it looks like it would be a cool and peaceful place to escape the heat and crowds!
The tufted titmouse is as cute as his name is. Those blue jays are something else. The little cardinal is posing for you.

another beautiful trail to walk Eileen, and wow you get the super moon way down low like that; not here. It looks fabulous.
What a lovely walk and a beautiful way to start any day!

That young Cardinal is precious! Young birds always look like they have such a sour expression. Love the shots of the trail you were exploring...it is so lush and green!
Hello Eileen,
Such a gorgeous area you live in!
Thanks for sharing that walk with us, I bet 'hubby' was happy you got him out of bed! LOL!
Your Cardinal youngster is sooo cute!
On bird I would have loved to see in North Carolina when we lived there!
Cheers, enjoy the day!
Thank you for the lovely walk Eilen, I really enjoy it, I feel I was there walking along and seeing all the green, the pretty flowers and birds, and congratulations on catching the Super moon. I was too cloudy here is California so we missed it :(.
Have a great week and thanks for visiting us :>
Hi Eileen, Beautiful setting and lovely pictures. I especially love that tender little Cardinal! Have a wonderful coming week1
Note to myself: "Must get a peanut feeder"!!!
Love all your nature photos and Goldie Girl in the lake. That looks so refreshing. Wish I could swim like your sweet girl can!
I got some terrific super moon shots this past weekend, but I'm not quite as proficient as you Eileen...it'll take me a few days to post my photos. LOL
Nothing is like a walk in such a beautiful and peaceful setting. Thanks for a nice walk:)
I would really enjoy a walk such as the one that you, your husby and pup-cub took. It looks like fresh breathing good exercise kind of a walk and the birds, the lake and the scenes are all very welcoming. happy week Eileen~
Always fun to see a photo of Goldie Girl. She looks like she's having a wonderful swim. Marvelous photos again, love the ones of the birds especially that close up of the Tufted Titmouse. In awe I am :)
Great sequrnce!! Love Goldie in the water. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful post Eileen. My post is about noticing all of the beauty around us and you've certainly done that. I especially love the bird shots.

It was a hot one today. Nice you can beat the heat with an early walk.
Simply great pictures, really impresses see nature like you've caught you, with all its beauty!
Wonderful sights all around! I would have been confused what to take and what not to take! :)
Beautiful! You are so skilled in getting close-ups of these birds - leaning towards purple (next phase of green, lol) with envy
Can't tell if my comment went through - great pics Elieen, especially the close ups of the birds, you are so skilled at it!
