Hi Eileen,

Best, Synnöve
...what sunsets, thanks!
Not hard to see why these are some off your favourite shots, Eileen. May you do as well in 2018.
Nature’s beauty through all the months. I especially liked the sweet red-bellied woodpecker. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Eileen - next year, a calendar!!! These are fabulous 2017 markers. May the next set of twelve be as fruitful for you. YAM xx
You do have much for which to be thankful. And we have your online friendship and your beautiful photographs. That sunset took my breath away. You've had a magnificent year in photography. Bravo!
It's so wonderful to have been many places and bring them home to share here. Have a glorious new year!
Hello Eileen!
Wow!Gorgeous pictures of the sunrise and all those beautiful birds!
The first picture is breathtaking!

DANG! You are GOOD!
You have seen so many beautiful places over the past year! I hope 2018 brings you happiness.
It would be hard to pick a favorite from these, Eileen!
these are super! i enjoyed looking back on 2017 with you!
beautiful memories that represent the year well. 2017 has been good to you - the pileated woodpeckers image is my favorite, i don't ever remember seeing that. my second favorite is the bear, what a memory!!!
Hello,
Beautiful photos! The Roseate Spoonbill is so special and have an amazing color.
Happy Thursday!
oh, so many lovely shots. I almost headed for Bar B last Sunday, but opted for a closer park. Soon.
AWESOME photos, each one of these. that beautiful beach, Sand Key, just over the bridge from those buildings is the yacht club my son and his wife work for...
There are some wonderful photos there Eileen. And some super memories for you too. I like the first Florida sunrise, the Pileated pair and the white sands of Florida. But of course each one is rather special.
Here's wishing you a Happy New Year and Happy Birding 2018.
Great recap of 2017! Happy New Year!
Absolutely stunnings of sunsets and Pileated Woodpeckers, they are beautiful.
Deception Pass and Sunset Beach, my favourites, but in mid air, what a special shot. We are the 29th already, another lovely cool morning, Goldilocks would be so happy, as it's " Just Right".Hoping you have rested after Christmas and are looking forward to 2018.
Hello Eileen, I am so thankful we connected here blogging, and to be able to share your wonderful moments and all these lovely and delightful critters that you share with us. Wishing you all the best and a very merry and happy New Year!
Thanks a lot for the beautiful post and photos.
Happy New Year in advance. Greetings.
Oh my goodness you have been almost everywhere. Remember that old Hank Snow song--"I've been everywhere"? Well that is you guys. Beautiful shots. Love the sunrise on the beach. The Chickadee in flight---awesome--look at his little feet.
Happy New Year and Happy travels

Super photographs and lovely memories, each one is a winner.
I do especially like the Chickadee in mid-air.
All the best Jan
Flagler Beach was always a favorite of mine too! I won't miss much about living in Florida, but I WILL miss the easy access to beaches. Oh my . . . those night heron babies. That is quite a "hairdo" they have.
That photo at Harper's Ferry is FRAMEABLE!!! SO BEAUTIFUL
Happy New Year, Eileen. I hope 2018 brings you all sorts of beautiful photo ops!
Isn't it wonderful to look back at the year and see how many amazing sights you've seen! I love the places you've traveled and I hope the year to come brings more of these trips and amazing nature views! Happy New year!
Eileen, Your pictures are so pretty. You could make a coffee table book with all these beauties. Thank you for your blog friendship and all the best to you in the new year.
Great series of images, hope you have a great 2018 and thanks for sharing :)
Nice eclectic collection. The Flagler Beach sunrise is hands down my favorite! Beautiful lines, color and texture..it's got it all. Kudos!
Happy New Year...
Beautiful sky.

I love that little in-flight chickadee! Every photo is just gorgeous. I REMEMBER that little bear, thinking that he looked skinny and hungry. Have a Happy New Year! :)

You have been to a lot of places this year and got a lot of beautiful pictures! Great captures of the birds - I love the shots of the pileated woodpeckers and chickadee. That sunrise in Florida was magnificent!
I could never pick a single favorite of these...some gorgeous shots here. Enjoyed seeing them and I have not even clicked to expand the view but am going to. They are always better that way.

Hello. Your nature observations delight me. Beaches, sun and birds are admirable. I could not choose the most beautiful picture. Thank you for thinking about me and I wish you a happy New Year. !
So beautiful!
Those spoonbills look like they got a little too close to some pink paint. :)
And a bear??? AAAAAiiiiEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
your February Pileated (punk) Woodpeckers are absolute winners!
Thanks for keeping an eye on my blog; I am happy to have met you!
Have a great New Year 2018 together with your dearest.
