Special thanks to all the wonderful host and their memes, I hope you have some time to check them out.
May 4th is our 26th Anniversary, the years have flown by. I am thankful for my hubby and all the happy years! That is my recent news and now for some scenes from around my yard and neighborhood. We found an Bald Eagle's nest at our lake, it is kind of a distant view but I have various photos to share of our walk to the lake and some of our blooming trees and plants.
The Eagle's nest I found at the edge our lake.
Our view across the lake, the eagle's nest is hardly visable, a Goldfinch and a Canada Goose, hubby and the end of the fireroad at the edge of the lake and last is a view of the trail thru the woods.
Our walk on the fireroad ends here, a great view of our reservoir.
One of the Great Blue Heron's nest in our neighborhood.

Some blossoms and blooms from our yard. The Redbud tree, Azaleas, Creeping Phlox, unknown blossoming bush and dogwood blooms.
Our little pond, some creeping phlox and we have some white waterlilies that have been coming back every year.
I have traveled past this farm and barn too many times to count during the 27 years we have lived in our house.
For Tom's Barn Collective I have drive by shots of some neighborhood barns.
Thank you for visiting and for the nice comments. As always, thanks to the wonderful group of hosts listed below.

You have so much beauty all around you! Love the great country scenes...Happy May Day! :)
26!
Dina reminded me it will be 30 for us this year.
Hum. Maybe I should break down and buy her some flowers.
Wonderful pictures Eileen . . .
Great close up of the Eagles and their nest!
Nice images, and the nest is impressive!
Enjoy the season.
a very happy anniversary to you both!
Happy Anniversary Eileen, to both of you! You chose a beautiful month for your wedding -- and to celebrate each year -- especially for nature lovers such as you two. Beautiful spring flowers -- and how lovely to have both an Eagle nest and a heron rookery right in your neigihborhood.
Happy Anniversary Eileen! You must have an amazing yard, wonderful sights. I sure wouldn't mind passing by that farm either. Thanks for joining The Barn Collective and I hope to see you again.
Congrats on your anniversary... You two have such a wonderful life together --and get to travel quite often... Love it!
Great post --and I love seeing your flowers. BUT--my favorite today are the EAGLES... Awesome!
Happy May 1st.... Amazing how quickly it got here. I will publish a blog post tomorrow.
Hugs,
Betsy
Love the heron on the nest.
Happy anniversary!

How wonderful to have so much beauty and nature around you -- No matter how many times I see them, eagles are really amazing!
Always enjoy seeing all your beautiful pictures.

Amazing captures, Eileen! So rare for me to see large birds nesting. That is it is a rare thing here in Montreal! Thank you so much for sharing. :)

I like your photo of barns.
Your flowers-collection is beautiful, and
big birds are always nice.
I wish you nice days in May :)
Happy 26th Anniversary to you and your hubby! You live in a beautiful place, so blessed with all the critters and nature.
Bald Eagles on your lake? Are you trying to make us jealous - if so its working!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
What a wonderful images.. Cheers..
Happy anniversary to you both, Eileen! And thank you so much for ALL the photos. You let me see a NEW world. I love it so much.
Can't believe you've got eagles and great blue herons nesting right in your own neighbourhood!
Beautiful images, especially the two Herons, classic.
wow loks like you live in heaven ,all is so pretty dear
Two fabulous nests in such a close proximity to your home. We live a mile from the Patapsco River but I've only seen a blade eagle once in the 10 years we've lived here. At our new apartment, Lake Kittaqumundi (I will have to learn how to spell that) is just a short walk. I know there's a heron rookery at the northern end of that that I look forward to checking out.
Happy Anniversary,Eileen! You and your husband live in an area that looks like a slice of heaven! Great shots!

An eagle nest, that's something special ! I also love the old barns !
Hello again Eileen!:) A lovely selection of photos. An Eagle's and a Heron's nest in close proximity to my home, would be my idea of heaven. How wonderful for you to be able to see them, surrounded by such beautiful scenery. Have a wonderful time on your anniversary Eileen, and I hope you have many more happy years together.
i always say the same thing, but you really do live in a wonderful area. so good for you as you have such a love for nature, it seems hubby does as well. i found a bald eagle nest in brick town, the town i live in. it doesn't get any press and i like that. i couldn't get very close for pictures but still, it was wonderful to see. they are so majestic, and they make my heart happy!!!
you are getting some amazing images, nice close ups, i enjoyed everything today but especially the barns. it's nice to have them close by!!!
so many pretty things to view today, i love the herons and the eagles in the nest and the fire road in the collage i just love it. i would like to wander down it
Wow!!!! That's all I can say!
Amazing shots!... And an amazing place...
Happy anniversary to you both, Eileen! Enjoy your week ahead!
All the best!
Ana
So idyllic and lovely!

Many congratulTions to you & your hubby Eileen on your wedding anniversary this Wednesday!
You are blessed to live in a very scenic area & there are lots of beauty spots to explore & wildlife to see !
Have a great week!
Eileen, I think you have everyone covered, and your pictures are all great. It looks like the blue heron is too big for its nest.
Very nice ! I love the Eagle's nest !
I really love that little pond.
I can only dream of looking at an eagle's nest.
Well, I'm thinking you have a wonderful neighborhood, with lots of photo-ops!
Hi Eileen, you lives in a fascinating place! A heavenly place with these beautiful birds and all nature. Congratulations of your 26 years! I wish you many travels together and happy birthday! Good week. Hugs
Happy Anniversary! Cool capture of the heron in its nest.
Congratulations on 26 years of marital bliss ... and you are blessed by nothing but beauty around you. Love the idea of an Eagles nest you can see ... we have one around somewhere, but haven't been able to locate the new one (the old was blown down several years ago in a bad storm). Another wonderful series, Eileen. I never tire of coming to visit you :)

26 is a very big number! Congratulations. May is my wedding month as well.
Worth a Thousand Words
That Bald Eagles nest is quite a find!
Happy Anniversary! Great photos and how delightful to find an eagle's nest ~
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
Great snaps, Eileen.
I particularly enjoyed the nest and the reservoir!
Have a Happy Week!
Peace :)
For all the trips you take to other conservation areas Eileen, I think you have the BEST spot right outside your own door. That's amazing that you have both a bald eagle nest and a GB heron nest within walking distance. Love the photo of the heron. I can see the eagles' nest across the lake in that one shot. It must be great to watch them fishing in the lake! You have lots coming up in the gardens too! I'm still waiting for just ONE flower to bloom here ... maybe by the weekend! Enjoy your week,
Wendy
We get some type of eagle that flies in front of our apartment building in Kuala Lumpur - even in the middle of the city. I'm always happy to see them.
Beautiful shots from your yard.
Congrats with you anniversary - that it may continue many years more! wow, I wish I could say that I lived this long in a house - 15 years was the longest ever:):) Love the heron nest, and your little pond, and of course the collage of flowers you linked for SEASONS! A great Spring tribute:) Have a happy week!
You live in a beautiful area, Eileen! the lake is so pretty and I'm sure attracts a lot of wildlife. Many farms are ranches are being sold here to developers--is it the same there? Having that eagle nest nearby must be such a treat--how many eaglets did they have?
Parabéns!
mutias felicidades para o casal!
adorei ver o ninho e as paisagens!
seu jardim é lindo!
bjs
Beautiful photos Eileen! You live in a beautiful area.
wow Happy Anniversary, hope you celebrated it and enjoyed the occasion :-)
Have a wonderful Anniversary tomorrow Eileen. Doesn't 26 years just fly by!
Gorgeous images of your phlox. You are so lucky to have a heron nesting near you!!
Have a great week ahead :)
Wonderful Eileen I have a little pond too with water lilies in it which give me great joy, as clearly does everything you have around you - it is infectious :)
Happy Anniversary I hope you are doing something special!

Lindas e belas fotografias.
Um abraço e uma boa semana.
So beautiful nature photos!
So many great shots! I expect we'll be seeing more of those eagles. How great to have them nesting nearby. Love your cute little pond too! Have a great week.
Boa tarde, a selecção de fotos é perfeita, as dos ninhos para o meu gosto, são as mais lindas.

Happy anniversary to you and your husband, Eileen! I'm also very happy for you that it is springtime where you are, it must be lovely to walk among all the bird nests and new flowers by that lovely lake!
These are such great photos Eileen! I love seeing the both of of those nests.
What a treat to be able to photograph nesting eagles and a heron. We have both here, but it seems that they are nesting on private property. So far the rabbit here leave the tulips alone and we don't have deer here, thankfully. Great photos, especially the barn. Love your water feature, especially the frog. He seems right at home.
Way to build a post! Lots of memes! You have amazing photos.
Great shots!
Your garden is looking lovely - and what a beautiful area to walk around, right on your doorstep. Hope you are having a good week.
A wonderful series of photos!
Lovely to see the Heron on the nest!
Hope you are having a great week!
Lea
lovely photos, the eagles look very content together on their nest
The nests, occupied so diligently, are perfect for this season of Mother's Day!
Your settings are so spacious and peaceful!
congratulatuons to the Anniversary and all the beauties around you. I too would like to have trees with eagles in them :)
What an amazing collection! I am glad to know what a Blue Heron nest looks like.
Lots of wonderful blooms and scenery! Love that Heron's nest Eileen.
A lovely selection of photos. It sounds wonderful that you have an eagle's nest so close to you. I love the heron, too. You have so much to watch where you are. The spring flowers are beautiful.
Great post.
The eagles' nest is amazing! Love the barns and fences.
Beautiful wildlife photos! Happy anniversary! The photo of the eagles--actually all the photos--are great. How nice to have a lake on your property!
Hi Eileen, Lots of neat photos in this post. My favorite is the Great Blue Heron on nest! Very, very nice! Always appreciate your kind comments on my blog. Wishing you a fine weekend ahead!
Happy anniversary! The lake is beautiful. I love the eagles and all the flowers.
