Happy Monday, I hope all is well in your part of the world. Have a great day and new week!
During our road trip, I was happy to meet blogger Mary in Kentucky. This is the link to Mary's blog. She is sweet person, We met at a Cracker Barrel restaurant off of Rt 71 on our way to Mammoth Caves National Park in Kentucky. Thanks again to Mary for the nice lunch, I am so glad we could meet.
On 5/4 we made an early morning stop before leaving Ohio. Nearby was the Clear Creek Covered Bridge and the Clear Creek Metro Park in Rockbridge Ohio.

This chicken was in the park near Lake Ramona.

This was a birdy area, saw the American Redstarts, Common Yellowthroat Warbler, Catbird, Bluebirds and Chipping Sparrows.
Some of the birds we saw were the male and female American Redstarts, Common Yellowthroat Warbler and Catbird. I am sorry the photos are not the best, they moved quickly and were camera shy.
We took the Hemlock Trail for a little distance, there were many wildflowers, a little creek and the hemlock trees.

I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

...another place to see!
Makes me wonder . . .
How many blogger “meet ups” have you had through the years?
I am sure Mary was happy for the “meet up!”
Great pictures . . .
Muito lindas as fotos para bem iniciar uma semana! Que seja ótima! bjs, chica
Covered bridges are a great idea .
Merle..........
The Clear Creek Covered Bridge is so beautiful! You never see something like that in Europa. That chicken was not the "wife" of a Grouse? LOL
Have a lovely week!
Hugs!
Happy Monday to you, Eileen!
The area seems quite beautiful, and the covered bridge is so pretty!
May I point out, Eileen, with great respect I may add, that the bird is a Common Yellowthroat not a Common Yellowthroated Warbler.
Hello Eileen!

Hello,
thanks for the comments: Marco, Franciso Manuel, Lynne, Tom, Chica, Merle Ella, Luisella and Dimi.
Thanks David, I made the correction for the Yellowthroat. I knew just a typo.
Loved seeing the covered bridge...and that's a really tall one too! Thanks for the quote about water. We had a flood last week, with water main damage, which meant boiling water for 5 days and it's finally been lifted. I'm very grateful for clean water coming out of the tap again! (Black Mountain, NC)
That covered bridge is great. How fun to meet, and then have such a nice walk in a nice area.
Enjoyed your flowers and bird pics and love that quote about flowers being our friends. They do bring a smile. Thank you.
What a grand excursion! And meeting a fellow blogger was the cherry topping! Beauty in the flowers/birds/scenery! Thanks for letting me tag along.
You always seem to find great birds, Eileen!
I don't think I've ever seen a CHICKEN on your blog before. LOL

What a lovely covered bridge!
That's such an old style new built bridge. I love the catbirds songs!
Beautiful shots, particularly the covered bridge! It's fun to meet a fellow blogger. I'll have to check out Mary's blog.
Great discoveries, you found some genuine treasures.
That is so true about the clean water!
Beautiful photos, Eileen. Thanks for sharing them with us.
I got quite into covered bridges when I was in the States last year. This is a very impressive one.
Thanks Eileen for sharing your trip. Nice pics of the bridge, water, and birds. I have only lived in Kentucky since 2015 so I have lots of places I want to visit. Great inspiration.
I like the quotes you use lately.
I always love to see those beautiful covered bridges.
Lovely birds and the flowers too.
Cheers to you Eileen :D) xx
What a beautiful place and to start off at a Cracker Barrel with a blogger friend is a great start! Just reading "Cracker Barrel" had me craving one of their breakfasts even though it is dinner time for me, lol!
That covered bridge is a beauty. Funny that you ran across the chicken
Some great photos.
Always fun to meet a fellow blogger.
Clean and beautiful nature, love those birds...
It's always fun to meet a fellow blogger in person. Wonderful covered bridge, Eileen. Sweet birds...
How sweet to meet another blogger - and what wonderful photos you've given us to enjoy. Hope your week is fabulous!
It is nice to see the metro bridge. It would have been a wonderful time when we meet our friends. Sounds that you all had a wonderful lunch.
Beautiful birds all around!
I enjoyed all the nature photos. I do love wildlife, birds and nature. Enjoy your week Eileen.
Thank you Eileen, I enjoyed your photos and you do find the neatest places. I aslo enjoyed Mr. Okakura’s quote. Happy day to you.
What a beautiful bridge!
Have a wonderful week!
I'd love to visit there
Beautiful part of the country, I cannot wait to explore it. Our friends live in Kentucky and I believe this is the year we get to visit them.
Worth a Thousand Words
Great to see a chicken roaming freely by the lake around Ramona!
Beautiful images Eileen, the first one, makes me think that it is a hide. Brilliant the birds.
Looks like a beautiful place ! I love the covered bridge !
I am always drawn in by photos of rivers...they speak to my heart. My father wrote two books about the rivers of British Columbia, where I lived for most of my life.
Like my friend Penelope Puddle, I enjoyed seeing the chicken out for a stroll!
