These are some images from my walk with hubby to the lake on Nov 8. We had a pretty blue sky, some ducks flying and landing on our lake and juvenile Bald Eagles flying over. We never know what we will see while on our walks to the lake and on the fireroads.
I was able to watch various flocks of ducks flying in during our walk to the lake. The shot above seems to be more Mallards but there are a few Buffleheads mixed in.
I like how the sunlight lit up these yellow leaves on the trees, ground and fireroad.
Above we saw two juvenile Bald Eagles flying near the lake, I was only able to catch a distant fly by shot. More ducks flying around the lake and some more Buffleheads came in for a landing.
Juvenile Bald Eagle flying over the lake and our heads.
Berries seen along the fireroad.
A view of the lake from the end of the fireroad. The bare deciduous trees standing in front of the pine trees across the lake. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your visits and nice comments. Have a happy day and new week ahead!

Great photos Eileen. That eagle is really something. Love those berries and the view across the water. Happy birthday to your husband and son.
Almost missed saying that I thought the lighting on the leaves and the trees was a grand shot also :)
Glorious series, Eileen! I love to take walks in nature and thanks to your lovely photos, I get a double dose...my own walks, and the benefits of yours, too! Thank you so much for sharing. :)
Happy Birthday to your husband and your son! :)
So you had a Christmas baby, too. Our daughter was born Dec. 24th. She will be 38. Where have the years gone? Mine birthday is the 20th. My mom always managed to separate my birthday from Christmas and even my sister's whose birthday was the 19th. Love you photos, as usual, and especially the red berries. Have a wonderful week. Hope you have decent weather this week.
Enjoyed
:)
And a beautiful world it is so are your photos of it all ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !

Some lovely moments you have captured! Have fun celebrating birthdays with your family this week :)
Good Morning, Eileen. Looks like perfect weather for enjoying a walk. I love walking through the leaves on the ground and the sunlight lighting up the ground is so pretty. Great variety of birds, too. Blessings to you this new week.
Happy birthday to your husband and your son! Really enjoyed your photos of the lake. They remind me of our Pine Lake. Recently it has been full of geese.
The Eagles are so pretty and I love the berry colours. Have a wonderful week~
I wonder how you did all this when you were gainfully employed!!! :-)
Lots of beautiful blue this morning...makes me smile!
Those are great. That's the best thing about wildlife, it's always a surprise.
There are so many things to love about your photo collections, but one near the top of my list is getting lost in the most welcome "solitude." I feel like I'm the only one in the world enjoying your views, just soaking up the peace of a quiet place in the world - so hard to come by these days!
Happy birthdays to your family! I love the photos! We used to live at a lake with ducks and geese. Beautiful!

I have been enjoying your eagle captures Eileen, here and on FB. I look at all those leaves and think of how they'll break down and enrich the soil, one of nature's miracles.
Haven't been on my computer or blogging much, baking, reading and outings have invaded my life. LOL
Looks like you had a beautiful sunny day for your walk!
Wonderful set of images from your part of world.
my favorite today is the yellow leaves all over the ground. happy birthday to your son today and you hubby coming up soon
Oh your area there is heavenly as are your shots....some very special birthdays for you...Happy Birthday to both!!
Happy Happy to husband and son!
Love those eagle pics.

Eileen, As the birds leave us up north they arrive further south. Great shots! Sylvia D.
it was a lovely day for a walk and you captured the best of nature as you went! I loved seeing the eagle and the ducks splashing about! Beautiful red berries remind us Christmas is coming!
Happy birthday to both your guys!
Grand eagle photos! Looks like you had a chance to play in the leaves.

My stepson's birthdays is 12/7 too - Happy Birthday to all
I would take that walk with you any day ... so beautiful and peaceful. Our eagles haven't been back yet. It is so warm that the waters up north haven't frozen so they aren't coming down. We have had one male adult eagle show up on occasion. I hope that changes. Beautiful shots, Eileen ...
Andrea @ From The Sol
Marvelous captures as always!!
I particularly like the photo of the fallen leaves
Fantastic photos!
What a great place to take a walk. Your world is beautiful. You also do a great job identifying birds. It takes me some time to identify the juvenile birds. Have a great day!
The weather is amazing and nice that you were able to get out under blue skies...Michelle
More brilliant pictures making me want to visit your part of the world. Happy Birthday to your son and husband as well.
Lovely series ;-)
CĂ©line & Philippe
I enjoyed seeing the different parts of your world, Eileen. You live in very nice place.
What a wonderful world Eileen!
That's a lovely area, a great lake to explore.
Beautiful photos! Congratulations to your husband and son. Hope you guys do something fun to celebrate.
Happy Birthday to your husband and son, Eileen! Wonderful photos of all the beauty! So nice to have this place to enjoy a lovely walk in nature. x K
Beautiful places we are showing. Its natural world is very interesting. Regards.
What beautiful photos, especially because they're snowless. Lol. Here, every day without snow makes a one day shorter winter. Have a wonderful week.
Great bird photos! I love the views of the lake and the woods, too!
Hope you are having a great day!

Hi Eileen, What a great place! So beautiful. I miss being right on the lake or pond as I was up in TN but then, I likely would not do well with Alligators in a yard. I just go to our neighborhood ponds and little lake. Your pictures of the eagles are really nice! Have an outstanding afternoon and evening today!
Wonderful photos, Eileen. Blue skies in autumn seem bluer than at any other time of year. Gorgeous area.
love the beautiful forestfloor and such great action shots of the ducks. And you have to love the eagle. :)
Any day we seen an eagle is a great day...or that is what we tell each other. That it was worth the drive, or whatever.
I love the sunlight on the leaves, too...just my type of shot.
Beautiful photos! The eagle is fabulous. My favorite is the photo where is the yellow leaves.
Have a nice day!
Anu
Bald Eagles are just fantastic birds. I'd love to see one one day. Really like your flight shots Eileen.
So beautiful !! Happy birthday to your husband and son !
Greetings
Wonderful photos!
Happy birthday to hubby & son! We have birthdays on Dec 15 and 22 (daughter & grandson) Love your beautiful, vibrant photos! Those red berries just say Christmas to me!
