Happy Thankful Thursday!
It is not only Thankful Thursday, but my 9th blog anniversary. I started blogging July 13th 2009.
It has been great meeting bloggers both in person and virtually from around the world. A couple of bloggers I have been able to meet in person, Linda in Pennsylvania , her blog is The Beauty Around Us and Mary in Kentucky and her blog is Red Shouldered Hawks of Tingsgrove. I may slow down occasionally but I could never stop blogging. I love reading other blogs and seeing photos from around the world. .
I am sharing some of my favorite images, hikes and birds from the past year.
July 2017, I am sharing a Veery off the local fire road near our home.
Aug 9th 2017, we went on a hike to Maryland Heights overlooking Harper's Ferry. A hard hike but worth the view.
Sept 28th, a trip to Western Pennsylvania and Erie Pa. We met blogger Linda at the Kinzua Bridge State Park.
Oct 14th was my 200th Saturday Critter party and post. A cute Field Sparrow seen at the Big Meadows Shenandoah Nat'l Park. I do not see the Field Sparrows often so this one was a treat.
From Nov 13 2017 a look at the moon from my sister's place in Ocean Isle Beach, NC
On Dec 4th 2017, I posted this cute Carolina Chickadee mid air.
On Jan 4th I posted one of my favorite winter visitors the Pine Warbler.
Feb 18th, during my Great Backyard Bird Count I had a pair of Bluebirds checking out one of my birdhouses.
March 2018, we visited Assateague Island National Seashore. Always wonderful to see the wild ponies.
April 2018, Hubby and I enjoyed an overnight trip to Shenandoah NP. We stayed at the Skyland Resort. It was nice to be the later in the day to see the sunset.
May 2018, We went on a road trip to Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. I met blogger Mary in Kentucky.
June 2018, I saw a Summer Tanager off the local fire road.
I am thankful to meet some bloggers in person and all the bloggers from around the world I have met virtually thru the internet.
I am thankful to go on our getaways and road trips.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hostingHappy Monday, enjoy your day and new week! Thankful Thursday

Happy Blog Anniversary Eileen . . .
I loved the year recap and especially enjoyed seeing you.
I think these were the first photos I had seen of you, other than “the shadow pics.”
How I have “pictured” you and then the ”real deal” . . . they match up perfectly!
I've been blogging as long as you and have seen many come and go. I always enjoy my visit here. Thank You for all your beautiful photos.
Congratulations on 9 years of blogging and hope you keep blogging for many many more years. : )

Congratulations on your 9th year! I started the same year, but I went a good while just loking at your critter posts, and so many bloggers I knew all posted in your critter blog but it took me a bit longer to hop on! I sure enjoy visiting your blog, always fun and inspiring and I learn the names of so many things I did not know! Thank you.

Happy blogversary! Thank you for showing nature in your part of the world! Looking forward to many more of your wonderful posts! Cheers!
Happy 9th blogging anniversary. It seems to me that with all the other social media alternatives that blogging is in a decline but I love it because of people like you. You are so generous and positive in your posts and comments and I appreciate it. Plus you take excellent photos and write very well. Long live blogging!! Have a great weekend.
Congrats on your blogiversary! Great shots! I know that spot in Harpers Ferry. It's a steep walk up there!
Beautiful scenes and beautiful photos of them!
Congrats on nine years! Now I'm off to see how long I've been at it...
