Happy Thankful Thursday!
These are some images from our visit to Maryland's Western Shore, we visited the Piney Point Lighthouse located on the Potomac River near the Chesapeake Bay. Beside the lighthouse there is the Keepers House and a Museum.
Osprey with two young.
It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight. Only blue sky!
Piney Point Lighthouse and the Keepers House.
Trail to the water.
The pier and view of the Potomac River. There are 50 major rivers that pour into the bay. Everything flows downstream that means we need to keep our rivers, streams and creeks clean.
A group of Terns and Gulls
In this one area we saw 4 Osprey nests and close to 6 Osprey. There was a sign on this pier that had info on the Chesapeake Osprey. It said the Chesapeake Bay estuary supports the largest breeding Osprey population in the country. I am not sure if this is still true, I hope so.

I am thankful for blue skies and pretty views.
I am thankful Maryland wants to keep the Chesapeake Bay clean.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.

ReplyDeleteI love the osprey. This time last year I was watching a couple of nests where we camped. This year, is a different direction. Looks like a great shore to visit.
ReplyDeleteOspreys are a very impressive bird. I remember the first time I saw one fly by with a fish in its grip.
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteCute little lighthouse, and beautiful osprey! They are growing in numbers here as well.
I wish you a nice day!
awwww, Mother's glorious gifts.
ReplyDeleteSuch Blue-tiful shots.
ReplyDeleteThe young ospreys seem to grow fast.
ReplyDeleteLooks the western shore is a paradise of Osprey and you lovely shot the bird 🦅 along with young ones. The white lighthouse is cute and the pretty blue sky and lush green landscape around enhances overall!
ReplyDeleteWow … not even a wisp of a cloud for miles … if I were a little bird I might hide inside the cozy bell for shade.
ReplyDeleteI love the Osprey, they are precious.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue skies, not a cloud in sight. Nice osprey pic too. It's always nice to go for a drive or a hike to see the wonders of nature.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Eileen. The ospreys are so pretty and the blue sky is perfect. I love lighthouses and it looks fantastic. Enjoy the day and thanks for sharing these wonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteLove that old lighthouse! The Keeper's house looks really large and beautiful. Guess I would expect something more small and modest. I'll bet there's an interesting history here!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous day!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful area, I loved seeing all of your photographs.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked lighthouses, and the ospreys sitting in their nest is great.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteWhat perfect weather you had for your outing. Wonderful photos. Wow what a blue sky and looks even bluer next to the white lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing the Osprey... The little ones are so cute...
ReplyDeleteI also love lighthouses... IF I had time and money, I'd travel all around the country collecting pictures of lighthouses....
Hugs,

Love Blue Sky days just like that . . .
ReplyDeletePerfect . . .
Wish we would have at the very least, one day a week . . . just like that!
Great pics Eileen . . .
This is great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place with great old buildings and the Ospreys under a beautiful blue sky.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that on one hand more and more people are again concerned about keeping our streams and rivers clean and the other side, some people want to loosen up regulations.
Your osprey shots are wonderful! I'm pretty sure we've been to that lighthouse...I seem to remember the pier. Anyway, beautiful place and great photos !
ReplyDeleteUnique and cute light house
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Every picture seems to tell a story. The nests look so cute. But, being a sky lover, I love the gorgeous blue skies the most! The lighthouse is giving me a story idea. :)
