Hello,
Happy Thankful Thursday, I try to rememmber there is always something to be thankful for. I may be away from the internet but will catch up as soon as possible. I am sharing the second day of our Shenandoah trip, since staying the night at Skyland we were up early to watch the sunrise.
We woke up early to see the sunrise and then went back to the Skyland lodge for breakfast.
A cloudy start to our day but we still have a great day in the park.
Deer along the Skyline Drive.
This deer looks like it has a sac it is licking , maybe a baby deer being born.
A Downy Woodpecker
Dark Hallow Falls.
A Louisiana Waterthrush at Dark Hallow Falls.
An Eastern Towhee
Some deer on the Big Meadows.
More deer along the Skyline Drive.
I am thankful for the simple pleasures like watching the sunrise.
I am thankful to have made this trip to Shenandoah NP.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hostingHappy Monday, enjoy your day and new week! Thankful Thursday

ReplyDeleteSó posso APLAUDIR! LINDO tudo! bjs, ótimo dia! chica
ReplyDeleteGreat series of pictures accompanied by an equally pertinent group of quotes. With Trump in the White House and Pruitt decimating the EPA you wonder what the environment will look like when they get through with it?

Love seeing through your eyes . . .
Love, Love how “a walk with nature” feeds my soul . . .
I always love critters...
ReplyDelete...but those sky shots...lovely
I think you may have answered a question I had. We saw dark birds along our walking path. May have been those towhees.
ReplyDeleteNice captures. Enjoy your stay.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
Im up early and first to arrive. This is a great look at Shenandoah NP...the Skyline Drive is such a fantastic highway. Recently saw a calf being born while I was out sightseeing, such a miracle.

Beautiful shots, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for all the things that you showed us here today for all the beauty for all the critters for the beautiful photos to show us what you saw
ReplyDeleteIndeed, nature does give us so very much for which to be thankful.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from India
Eileen: your vastly improving camera work is now almost as sweet as you are! <3
ReplyDeleteBy being out there you will see things that others never dream of.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for this magnificent post Eileen !! I love getting up early to see the sun rise
ReplyDeleteWe love nature, and enjoy it whenever we can. Recently we flew to get the caravan, and we went a few days, we have been surrounded by natural wonders. Thank you, friend for these photos.
Te deseo un buen jueves.
Besos.
That sunrise pic is wonderful! Have a great time on your holiday!
ReplyDeleteEvery one is so lovely, nature gives us so much joy.
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, Looks like a fabulous trip. You know which bird I love the best of your pictured birdies. Ha! That little woodpecker is a sweetie. Have a great Friday tomorrow and a very happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies and great collection of pictures today.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful sunrise photographs, I enjoyed your others too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday Wishes.
All the best Jan
there is always something to be thankful for, in my opinion, but most often we just don't see those reasons right before our own eyes, it does take a bit of searching some days but it's there
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrise, Eileen. How lovely to enjoy all this wildlife and to know the names of all these birds! Happy traveling to you!
ReplyDeleteWe all do have so much to be thankful for. We visited Skyland and Skyline Drive last August for my birthday... We loved it ---and saw both sunrises and sunsets. Of course, with the sunrise, we had to drive on Skyline Drive to one of the overlooks... It was AWESOME....
ReplyDeleteWe would walk from our room to the lodge each morning and evening for our meals..., Sometimes we'd walk straight up that path --but it was more enjoyable and a better view to walk along the road and around... Such a great place to walk.
You got some great pictures --and I know you'll have a million more from your latest adventure.
Hugs,
Betsy
What a gorgeous sunrise! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great getaway! Haven't things "greened up" all of the sudden? Yay for spring! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuperb pictures!
ReplyDeleteHappy day
hug Crissi

Than you for reminding me that I need to take time to be thankful! Happy Mother's day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos one again, Eileen. I love woodpeckers and waterfalls! Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the simple pleasures you've shared Eileen.
ReplyDeleteSuch magnificent scenery and critters. You've a keen eye and a big heart... lovely quotes.
Keep enjoying your holiday.
Good wishes, Sue xx
One of my favorite places. I never get tired of seeing pictures of it.
