Hello,
Happy February!
Sharing another sunrise over our local lake and a visit on 11/25/16 to Circle B Reserve here in Lakeland Florida. I am enjoying our daytrips, it nice to be able to drive off in any direction and find a great park, beach or wildlife reserve.
Sunrise over our community lake.
A Pileated Woodpecker.
A Great Blue Heron
Some of the pretty flowers along the trail.
Not sure if you can see them, but there are three large dragonflies in this photo below.
A pretty sky and view at Circle B Reserve
My favorite ducks, the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks.
One of the many gators at Circle B reserve. What a big mouth he has!
My Thankful list:
I am thankful for each day I wake up.
I am thankful for all I have.
I am thankful for my hubby.

...and g'day from Down Under! Have found a computer to use, so can do a bit of catching up on the blog=scene again. LOVE that water shot up top. Yes, there is lots to be thankful for! YAM xx
Hello,
Exciting photos you are showing today! I'm thankful that I live in a cold country where there are no gators ;)
Thank you for sharing!
Happy Thursday!
Ser grato é mesmo preciso sempre! Lindas tuas fotos a cada dia.bjs, chica
Hi Eileen---February already---isn't time flying by! Hope you have a good month ahead.
I'm very surprised to see a Pileated. I always thought they were a bird of the far north.
Hello Eileen! You took fantastic photos again of the heron and ducks! I am in awe of the size of that gator!
The sunrise was so, so pretty! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day!
I love your beautiful photos Eileen.
Happy day Crissi
That woodpecker had to be one of my favourite birds. Luckily I have seen them in the flesh - A friend of mine gets them in his garden in Ohio!

Lindas e belas fotografias.
Um abraço e boa semana.

Good Morning, Eileen. Really beautiful photos today. Thank you for sharing the beauty all around you with us. Have a wonderful day.
Enjoyed. I wish I could get my wife to join me there.
Wow!You captured a beautiful sunrise.
amazing images!
Looks like you are getting around in Florida and you are finding great places with exciting creatures. Love it.
So jealous you are in nice warm Florida! It looks beautiful down there. xo
Such beautiful birds and skies, Eileen.
The great herons always seem to be my favourites, but #1 photo, with words, truly lovely.
your images are excellent, the woodpecker is spectacular. i am so happy for you eileen, life is good in florida!!!
Beautiful sunrise, birds, dragonflies, but the alligator scared me :)
Hello Eileen, I can't believe it's Thursday already!
Aren't the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks so cute, I love their faces.
Those flowers are a very pretty colour, and those blue skies (and other birds) just a treat to see.
Enjoy the rest of your week
All the best Jan
...what a sunrise!
Ah - beautiful! And those are dragonflies!?!?!?! Wow!
What a beautiful series, Eileen! Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you are having a great week!
More wonderful photos.
sowonderful pics. outstanding
I know we are both thankful to live in this part of Florida and have so many places to go and enjoy nature. You take amazing photos! We don't get out very early for our trips but we need to branch out some. Would love to go to this reserve! We went to Homassassa wildlife park yesterday. We saw over 100 manatees in the river! The most we've ever seen! Hugs!
Beautiful series, my favourite is the Pileated Woodpecker, isn't it so gorgeous Eileen.
A gorgeous sunrise Eileen! Love Mr Woodpecker too - those colours.
Great shots of the wetlands. Have a great weekend, cheers now :D)
Saw you are in Lakeland, FL - one of the few places I have been in that state!
You are missed at ALL SEASONS - hope to see you back there! Since you said one time urls in comments give you trouble, I'm giving you the title of the coming post( Sun- Wed.) Title is ALL SEASONS - BEGIN FEBRUARY.
Yes, I am thankful for the same things as you are! The sunset is gorgeous in your first photo!
What beautiful colours in that sunrise.
Great clouds.
Oh, yes, I did see the dragonflies. That is one of the best photos of a pileated woodpecker that I have seen...love the Blue heron and that sunrise is spectacular!
Another beautiful sunrise..That Woodpecker has been very busy...Big mouth indeed..Thanks for sharing..
Yikes, yes, a big mouth and sharp teeth!! Beautiful skies also. Have a nice weekend.
So green! We're so white!!!
Your post are always so good and entertaining. You do a super job.
Wonderful photos! I like how you got the one of the gator with its mouth open.
You had a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing it with these beautiful pictures.
Beautiful shots. How close did you get to the gator. I'm scared of them.
I always like to see the Herons. Also, nice to see those blue skies. Ours are gray lately. Thanks for linking up today!
You clicked a great picture of the crocodile...
You are capturing amazing shots!
Helloo, Amazing pics. Greetings.
Great bird photos! Hope you didn't have to get too close to that gator.
Just love that sunrise!!
Fantastic photos Eileen! It sounds like you are enjoying yourself.
Woodpecker is so cute. Happy weekend!
you are an early bird :) Such a beautiful morning. But I could do without the gator. I find them ugly and boring.
Lovely shots, Eileen. You live in a beautiful part of our world!
Great sunrise shot. Pileated Woodpecker is not uncommon here but for a big, gaudy bird it can be difficult to find. I remember years ago in Florida seeing three together on a utility pole. I thought it was remarkable but the locals didn't seem to be too gobsmacked!
Hi Eileen, What a great Thankful Thursday post. And that ending quote, "If all you did was just look for things to appreciate you would live a joyous, spectacular life." by Abraham Hicks is just wonderful! I will ditto your list of Thankfuls and change the third one to "my wife." :-) Hope you have had a fine week in Florida and wishing you a great weekend ahead.
Ahhhh... such a pretty place! Looks so nice and WARM! Thanks for sharing more of a wonderful place! Hugs!
Beautiful sunrise and sky shot ~ thanks,
Wishing you a Happy and Peaceful weekend ~ ^_^
Lovely post, what a bird the Pileated Woodpecker.it looks huge !
Amanda xx
I adore your Florida -- it is a lot like mine, except yours has better pictures. The GBH shot is quite something with the open bill -- I don't think I've ever seen that before (except once when I caught one with a fish).
What we receive are the consequences of we have done.
So thankful to have all these being shared to me.
The world is made simple, but beautiful.
Dearest Eileen; What a spectacular sunrise♡♡♡ Wish to see the Colorful woodpecker and I smiled with the blue heron(♡^.^♡)
Oh, I AM thankful for my husband as well♫♫♫
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*
I like photos with the flowers and blue sky the most. Dragonflies are really huge!
The sunrise image is just fantastic!
Lovely photos - the female mandarin is so pretty!
