I am linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences NF Trees and bushes
I hope you can join in on the fun and share your fence scenes and pretty skies.
A pretty blue sky and another great weather day. Hubby and I decided to take a walk around the Centennial Lake in Clarksville located in Howard County Maryland. They have 2.6 mile paved pathway around the lake. You can see below the lake, boat rentals and my fence shot for Tex's Good Fence meme.
And do I need to say it is known to be a real birdie spot for the local birders. So hubby and I get our exercise and I get to do some birding at the same time. The trail has some pretty views of the lake, forest and the birds.
Birds seen at the Centennial Lake: top row Canada Geese, Pied-bill Grebe, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, second row: Palm Warbler. Bottom Row: Black & White Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Eastern Kingbird.
Pretty view of the lake sparkeling and the clear blue sky.
A cute Yellow-rumped Warbler seen off the trail.
A blooming redbud tree and the pretty sky for my Skywatch Friday entry.
Another fence scene and a section of the trail that goes around the Centennial Lake. I like the shadow captured from the fencing on the bridge.
A pretty scene along the trail, with the redbud tree and the bench.
A cute Palm Warbler stopped just long enough for me to snap his photo. I hope you enjoyed our walk at the lake, my post and photos. Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comments.

what an outstanding place! Love the shot of the lake sparkling and have a fondness for bridges... Lovely selection again &*> YAM xx
Another beautiful place that you have shared. I am thinking we will visit a lake in KY soon and take the dogs with us. Those Yellow Rumped Warblers are just the most daring wee ones~
Que beleza,Eillen!Adorei tudo por aqui! bjs, chica
Well you were killing 2 birds with one stone when you decided towalk round the lake adn youmnaged to get lovely shots of the birds adn fences.
Love that Yellow Rumped Warbler! So nice to get out to a place like that!...:)JP
A great place to get exercise and as well as see birds. You must be a "bird whisperer" to get so close to the warblers!
Love the last image of the Palm Warbler....and the collage of birds you shared today Eileen. Bud and I do the same thing, get exercise AND bird at the same time. Except for these really HOT months. That's when birding is nearly nil around here.
That sparkling lake ....... so, so gorgeous.
Eileen, these area all beautiful, but that fence with shadows is so inviting.What fun to walk that trail!
i wish redbuds would last longer ... the go away so quickly. great springy shots. ( : enjoy your Thursday, Eileen!
Love the yellow rumped warbler.
Delightful pics Eileen, that redbud is beautiful. You always manage to capture the birds in such detail.
Eileen, what a pleasant area for a bird walk. Thanks for sharing.
Have enjoyed your walk in pictures, the birds are all unknown for me... The bridge with the shadows is a especially great photo!
Greetings from Germany
Just beautiful! Great for birding and exercise combined as you say! Can't beat a day like that! Enjoy!
that yellow rumped warbler is adorable and i love the shadow on the bridge and the red bud trees. so pretty....
Oh my, what a dreamy opening photo, I'd love to spend the day there! The lone bridge is my other favorite, as are all your nature scenes! Lovely skies throughout too. Enjoy your day, it's almost the weekend!
I really enjoyed your walk around the lake. That is the lake I used to walk around every morning. I lived 1/2 mile away. I have so many memories from there. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. : )
the redbud is one of my favorite tree's, ours bloomed a while back!! you really did hit the bird jackpot, lot's of wonderful images!!!!
enjoyed the walk. Beautiful place. Pretty warblers.
Good Morning Eileen, Love your gorgeous shots of fences and beautiful blue skies. My favorite is the lake sparkling in the sun with the clear blue sky. Beautiful birds too. Love the sweet Warbler.
Have a wonderful day! CM
I love that bright blue sky and the pretty trees blooming. Sure makes you want to get out on the water. Love your sweet warblers, too! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Diane
that tree is so pink and pretty, very much like our Pink Poui here in Trinidad and Tobago
have a nice Thursday
much love..
really beautiful! love the blue sky and water. the pied-billed always makes me smile. miss our winter guests (too many whistlers, i suppose). sweet butter-butt and pretty bridge scene, too!
I so enjoyed this walk. I breathed the fresh air, got a little exercise, some nice company, and all while sitting at my computer :-)

Nice fence over the water . . . Shadows too! Looks like the perfect walking trail!
(And your birding pics are always wonderful!)
I love that last shot of the Palm Warbler...and the lake looks so inviting! I would love to have a place like this to go walk.
It must have taken forever for you to cover that 2.6 miles. Step, step, snap, step, step snap. Too many beautiful photo ops for an exercise walk. All of them are wonderful ... a lot of tree shots that would be good for NF Trees and Bushes. Your fence is nice and works for Good Fences, but I was off enjoying Red Buds and Birds instantly. Great post, Eileen ...

Hi Eileen - A lovely walk you had! Really nice photos, and I especially like the shadow of the guardrail on the bridge!
What a great place for a nice walk. I love all those birds!
The bench looks like such a pretty place to sit with the pink blossoms overhead.
What a beautiful place to walk and enjoy so many different birds. Your photographs are enticing ... I'll have to look up that park!
gorgeous photos...such a pretty place to ride a bike! have a great day :)
Wow, what beautiful pictures. Thanks so much for sharing! The lake is absolutely beautiful.
Cute shot of the yellow rumped warbler! The blooming trees are very pretty.
Beautiful place to walk, Eileen.
Purple tree is really great to see.
I love the yellow rumped warbler.
Best regards, Irma
The water in the first picture looks as if it would be refreshing to some tired feet. We're having hot days now here in south Texas. Your bird photos are beautiful.
that little bridge setting is gorgeous. Oh how I'd love to experience it, first hand. :)
WHat lovely shots!
Great bird photos and really lovely, delightful, refreshing views!
It's so beautiful there! I would have loved
to join you on that walk :))
Love the scene with the pink tree and the bench :))
Have a great day!

Lovely birds, but what a wonderful crystal clear blue sky!
Fantastic shots of the birds Eileen.
Such a lovely post. The lake area is so pretty. I really liked the shot going over the bridge. Also the variety of birds. I think if I were a bird I wouldn't want to have "rump" as part of my name like that cute little Yellow Rump Warbler!
I could imagine a lazy day on the lake, that sounds like fun!
Looks like a wonderful walk. :)
Sit a while, a lovely peaceful spot, with a shady tree shining red above, enjoy the birding opportunities, and walk the bridge, love those shadows.
Another perfect walk in your little piece of Paradise.
Beautiful photos.
I love your warblers, Eileen. I so seldom see these birds.

Great red buds, mine are dead buds this year. Tom The Backroads Traveller
A pretty little lake, lovely scenery and fantastic birds!
Looks like a beautiful day. And what a great variety of birds! Wonderful!
Eileen, every image is just beautiful and oh so peaceful! I love redbud trees in bloom and look at the water sparkling! You really got some great shots! That Palm Warbler is precious! You, my friend are a great photographer!

Wow what a beautiful selection of birds at Centennial Lake. It is a lovely spot. Nice fence shots. B
Beautiful captures, as always, Eileen!! Looks as if you had glorious weather as well!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Beautiful place with Redwoods blooming. I especially like the Palm Warbler. They are so bright in comparison with the Western subspecies we have all winter here in Florida.
I like the shadows on the bridge photo.

I especially like the photo of the bridge.

The redbud tree shots are beautiful! Have a great weekend.
What beautiful shots as always, but I'm in love with the 2nd and 3rd to the last images.
Worth a Thousand Words
That must have been a most enjoyable walk with so many lovely sights to see - and photograph. I stopped and took a deep breath when I saw the sparkling lake; that's a great shot, really drew me in. I also really loved the image of the bench under the pretty pink tree. And the last shot of the little bird amidst the tangle or twigs. Terrific post!
What a perfect day to visit the lake - great weather and right on time for those lovely blooming trees. I love the image of the sparkling water. You were able to see and photograph a quite a variety of birds too.
What a nice walk! I love seeing the little Yellow-rumped Warbler. I occasionally see them in my back yard.
I like the birds and that great shadow on the bridge.
What a pretty lake! You saw some nice birds there, most of which are in our area as well. I haven't seen any warblers (but one) this spring. I usually see the myrtle warbler at the very least. Miss them.

HI Eileen! The Palm Warbler sure is a cutie--What a lovely place for you to enjoy and for the birds to call home!
