I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
Saturday's Walk 04/13/14
Wishing everyone a HAPPY EASTER!
Hubby and I visited two places on Saturday morning. The first was a short walk on the Jones Falls trail to the Yellow Crowned Night Heron rookery along the Jones Falls trail in Baltimore.
Above the Jones Falls, the stream runs along side the expressway that takes you into Downtown Baltimore, some of the habitat of the Yellow Crowned Night Heron rookery. The rookery is located maybe just a half block-block from the Stieff Silver building in Baltimore "Hon" . The bottom left is a light rail train and bottom right is two of the Yellow Crowned Night Herons.
Above is a viewing platform overlooking a small falls on the Jones Falls, some colorful weeds, a bike rack on the trail, garter snake, American Robin, Pink Flamingo and National Boh image see along 34th St. This street in Baltimore is famous for the Christmas light display on every house on the block..People visit from all over to see the Christmas light display and decorations on 34th St.
I will be featuring the Yellow-Crowned Night Heron and rookery on my next post for Wild Bird Wednesday. I hope you can stop back and see these pretty birds.
I am finally seeing some blooms in our yard.. The daffodils are looking pretty!
Join in on the fun and for more wonderful photos please visit Mosaic Monday and more

I hope you enjoyed our quick visit to the shore and seeing the birds.

Eileen, just such a short time ago, you were in winter mode, and now beautiful golden blooms. Lovely, Cheers, Jean.
Beautiful place with lovely flowers and birds.
All the photos are lovely but the waterfall is amazing. :)
Wow, some beautiful photos making up your collages Eileen. Happy Easter to you.
Gorgeous photos! Nice places to visit. Glad you got shots of the herons!
Those herons are so unusual! Looks like they dressed up for Easter! Hope you have a fabulous week ahead! Hugs!
Thank you for virtually taking me along on your walk. The scenery was lovely and I had a very nice time.
Nice pictures. I love the daffodils !
Thanks for taking us along with you on your walk. I've been to Baltimore a couple of times, but had not heard of Jones Falls trail. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm there.
Hello Eileen!!
What a wonderful place you visit!Beautiful birds!!!Great shots!!I like your daffodils!Very preety flowers!Wish you a happy week!
Dimi...
another beautiful series, a wonderful walk on a good weather day Eileen ...most enjoyable, and I loved seeing all the daffs
And all of the sudden we have spring everywhere, don't we? I love the photos in this post, but I have to admit that I am not looking forward to worrying about snakes being out so early!
PS: I share your dislike of crowds. Yesterday at the tidal basin it wasn't too bad, but we were there before 8 AM, and gone by 10. The crowds were really starting to build because of the weather and the parade--I'm glad I wasn't driving, and thankful to have gotten home by noon! But those blossoms really put on a good show!
Can't believe a night heron colony in downtown Baltimore!
Lovely post, starting and ending with those pretty, yellow daffodils.
Thanks for sharing your walk. Love daffodils - they just say Spring. The Spring flowers are so pretty and welcome- sure wish they lasted longer.
Thanks for stopping by. have a great week.
beautiful shots, Eileen...things are starting to bloom here as well..daffodils, and forsythia are starting too! :)
enjoyed your pictures.
Wonderful inspiration for you this week Eileen with the addition of Spring flowers everywhere. Stunning yellow daffodils brighten any day!
The yellow crowned night herons are just gorgeous - how wonderful to discover their rookery!
Beautiful daffodils. I miss them. I used to see them everywhere when I lived in Atlanta. No one grows them here in central Florida.
Those birds are so cool Eileen, and I love the daffodils. Wonderful post as always.
Gorgeous daffodils! Lovely collages. The herons are handsome birds.
Love your daffodil shots. And the heron pic is nice too. Looks like you are finally getting a real spring. Yahoo!
Love the herons, and the daffodils are so gorgeous. Happy Easter to you, Eileen.
Thank you for the spring views, flowers . . .
Blooming blooms are superb, and the snake, lovely to see.
Hi,Eileen. Nice walking. Your photos are very beautiful. Wishing you a nice week ahead.
Beautiful yellow-crowded night heron, and it sure looks spring now. We went up to 75 degree yesterday :)
beautiful photos, those herons are very handsome
Terrific post! All the photos are really nice, but of course the Yellow-crowned Night Herons photo is my favorite!
Dearest Eileen;
Wow; BEAUTIFUL places you visited♡♡♡ Love the Yellow Crowned Night Herons, at first they look really beautiful and I thought they might be an ornaments at the Jones Falls:-)
I'm happy to see that you finally starting to enjoy spring. Thank you very much for the pretty daffodils.
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Lovely shots. Wishing you an enjoyable Easter.
Hi Eileen, Looks like you all had a great day. Can't believe that waterfall and the heron rookery is located so close to downtown Baltimore.. Looks like a great place to walk though.
Hugs,
Betsy
Nice Spring collage. Happy Easter to you!
Gorgeous daffodils! And the herons are magnificent!
Have a great week!

Looks like a wonderful place to walk and see bits of nature. The birds are so pretty. I was surprised to see a snake already--not happy to see them!
Hi Eileen,
The falls and the surrounding area are just lovely and look like a great place to sit and relax for a while. Your own daffodils are very pretty and a sure sign of spring, which has yet to truly make an entrance here in southern Ontario!
Have a wonderful week!
Poppy
The Herons are gorgeous!
How was it that you could be so calm as to be able to even remember that you had a camera, let alone taking a picture of the snake?
So true that It is nice to see some pretty spring days! Love those series of spring images & wonders, those yellow daffodils and those lovely chickadees birds... Have a sunny, cosy and warm week of Spring till Easter - full of joy and sunny moments!!
Glad it's turning to spring there, Eileen! I felt as though I was walking with you. (Love that red bike rack!)
I do love your beautiful daffodils, Eileen!! Wonderful captures as always and such beautiful colors! Isn't Spring wonderful!!! Hope you have a lovely week ahead!!
Spring hasn't come a moment too soon for you. Enjoy the warmth and sunshine and have a good week.
You visit the most amazing places Eileen, I can feel how much you enjoyed the outdoors!! Great images today, I LOVE the red bike rack!!
those daffodils are certainly a happy bright Easter shot of colour Eileen. Happy rambling. Have a wonderful week Eileen and blessings for Easter.
the daffodils are so cheerful, they easily lift us out of the bad mood.
have a good holy week.
Hi Eileen, So glad your Daffodils are blooming. Pretty indeed! I really like that shot of the Yellow-crowned Night Heron. Quite wonderful. Have a great day tomorrow!
Beautiful spring shots. This post made me smile.
The Night Heron looks very elegant and the daffodils are just beautiful! Things like that won't grow in my garden - its far too hot!
Dear Eileen, I have such a post for Saturday critters yet I was ill again over the weekend. I am FINE now, and will be joining you again soon. I love your daffodils (we plant ours in winter, amazing, isn't it?) and I love the Yellow-crowned Night Herons. We have (oh yes, I went out birding quite a few times while I was ill, LOL!) just spotted a really exciting lifer, for us and for the Dar Es Salaam birding fraternity! Will post about it tomorrow on Stewart's blog. Hope you're having a really great day. Jo
All the pics are truly wonderful! Nice collection and presentation.
Hi Eileen. What an interesting and varied mix of pictures you gave us today. A good mix of town and country with birds thrown in for free. The herons are beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them soon.
Happy Easter to you and hubby.
Absolutely wonderful collages Eileen.
Have a happy Easter!

Your daffodils are beautiful, Eileen! Jones Falls looks very pretty and I'd love to see that Baltimore block all lit up for Christmas.
Happy Easter!
