Hello,
These are some images from our Lakeland neighborhood, the lake, view of the moon, Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, Juvenile Moorhen and an immature Little Blue Heron. I have enjoyed the past winter in Lakeland Florida, I hope you enjoy my photos.
This is a sunrise scene of our local lake, Lakeland Florida.
The neighborhood Black-bellied Whistling Ducks.
I believe this is a juvenile Common Moorhern but then I also think it could be a juvenile Purple Gallinule?
A juvenile Little Blue Heron.
I am thankful for being able to live my life around the things that I love, mostly nature related.
I am also thankful and blessed to be retired and doing what I am doing. It includes living part time in Florida for the winter.
Thank you for your visit and comments on my post. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!
Thanks to Michelle for the meme Thankful Thursday
I am also linking up to Skywatch Friday, I hope to see you there.
Thank you to Sylvia, Yogi and Sandy for hosting Skywatch Friday.

Hi Eileen, Beautiful photos in this post! You know me, I always like to pick a favorite, but your pictures make it difficult! They are all so good! :-) I never get enough sunrise and/or sunset pics and these you've included are just great. However, for this post I'm going to select the juvenile Common Moorhern (possible juvenile Purple Gallinule) because your photo picks up wonderfully the subtle color of the bird's feathers. Very nice shot there! I do admire you spending your winter in Florida. Thank you for scouting out some great spots to visit and sharing your pictures with us. Have a great weekend ahead and, if traveling, be safe!
great photos and i enjoy exploring with you! have a super day :)
...with sunrises like these I'd be out of bed in a flash.
Eileen, your nature photos are always spectacular. I am so blessed to be able to view all of the different wildlife via your blog. The sunrise pictures are beautiful. I love the juvenile Blue Heron. I love the shape of their bodies...so graceful looking.
I wouldn't mind being out there right now, though it's a bit chilly for the Floridian.
You are blessed with the beauty of nature and a variety of wildlife there in Lakeland! Beautiful photos of the lake.
It all looks so lovely Eileen. Enjoy your sunny days. I'm sure that is a gallinule with those simply huge feet.
i am so thankful that you spent the summer in florida. i have enjoyed each and every moment. the sunrise is beautiful!!!
You're lucky to divide your life between two places that you love. Florida is so full of life when we're still trying to get past old Man Winter. I've so enjoyed your pictures, and the last post of the Snipe was really interesting. He's a cutie - And for this post, I love the Whistling Ducks that I became a fan of from "Theresa at Run-Around-Ranch."
Enjoy your Thursday Eileen!!
So beautiful. Those shots of the water are so pretty, love the reflection.
You are a blessing Eileen!
Wow - so gorgeous! I could gaze at those skies forever.
between one and two, the dark and the light at the top I can't pick a favorite. just beautiful, both of them
That sunrise is amazing. The ducks and moorhens we do not see up here.
Photos taken at dawn are wonderful, especially the first and second. Regards.
An absolutely gorgeous series, Eileen! You bring such beauty and joy in your posts. Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful! One of the birds looks like he is standing on the water.
It really looks like a birders paradise there, Eileen. I'm so glad you were able to live there there this winter. Do you hope to do this yearly?
Amazing sunrise photos, Eileen and I love the juvenile Little Blue Heron. Have a great day. Jo
The sun rises are breathtaking.
It's nice to see the ducks that Tex used to show us!
So beautiful. I'm amazed you remembered to shoot pictures.
Oh my those skies! And lovely captures of the wildlife as usual. So much beauty to appreciate and enjoy for us :)
Love the two sun shots...just too beautiful for words...and as always, love your bird shots. I have never seen a baby blue heron.
So vibrant golden sunrise!!!
Such wonderful scenes, the sunrise is gorgeous.
Nice to see your lovely photo's of the birds and ducks too.
All the best Jan
BEAUTIFUL photos!
Which lake is that?
My DH and our son both went to Florida Southern. We spent a LOT of time in Lakeland and considered retiring there. It's still not out of the question, but we do love north Florida too.
Spectacular set of images. Love the sunsets.
A lovely group of pictures. Have a blessed evening.
Wow! Your sunrise photos are awesome! Thanks for linking up today and I hope you have a great weekend!
Hello, Amazing sunrise pics. Beautiful clicks.
Greetings.
these are gorgeous Eileen! wishing you a beautiful weekend!
Wow, that first shot, just wow! All your photos are so neat. Thanks for sharing and for hosting.
Your pictures are always so beautiful and bird pics specially so!
Love the Juvie pic whatever he/she is...You have some great shots there..Hope you have a safe trip home and a good weekend...
Spectacular sunrise capture on your first photo!
Oh my, what a glorious sunrise!!! It takes your breathy away!! Have a grand day!!
Always so lovely Eileen!!
Especially enjoy your whistling ducks.
I understand that they are native to the Texas Gulf coast, but several flocks got blown over to the Fla. gulf coast during Katrina!!
Not sure the validity - but I would sure love to see some whistling ducks!!!
Great shots!
A very nice place to spend winters in your country lots of snow up north of you.
Merle.........
What a great thankful post - and such lovely photos - love them all. I'm always inspired by the variety of birds you have around you.
Fabulous sighting and shots Eileen
