Happy Thankful Thursday!
Go away Hurricane Florence! I hope everyone who is in the path of Hurricane Florence stays safe .
These are images from our walk to our lake on Labor Day Sept 3rd. It was a pretty sky day with puffy white clouds but hot and humid. I heard a few birds along our walk, a few Eastern Wood Pewees, White-breasted Nuthatches, Pine Warbler and the knocking of some woodpecker all heard but not seen.
It was a pretty sky day, white puffy clouds here and there.
Butterflies were the Monarch and various Swallowtail butterflies.
Just before the trail ended at the lake we saw one tree with red leaves.
One lone fishing boat on the lake.
Swallowtail Butterfly
There was one red leaf tree on the edge of the lake.
I am thankful to live so close to the lake, just a walk away.
I am always thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hosting Thankful Thursday.

Stay safe.Thanks for the post and Beautiful pics.
Monarchs seem to have had a good year. Thousands have been moving south through here. As for Florence, stay safe. I suspect that both of us are going to experience residual effects of this monster storm.
Hello Eileen! Hope you’re safe from the Hurricane.
Such a beautiful walk and wonderful nature!
The lake looks so peaceful and beautiful scenery too!
Stunning pictures of the preety butterflies ,the Autumn leaves on the tree and the reflection in the lake!
Have a happy day and a lovely week ahead!

"Go Away Florence" - short and to the point - I like it!
We have family in NC and East Tennessee and were happy this morning to see the predictions have moderated some.
Always love the butterflies. Happy Day
Lovely place.
Love those flutterbys
Wonderful butterflies!
Im here wondering how bad it's gonna be, could be bad, could be just some wind and rain...been through a few of these storms some fizzle out some roar in ...so it's a wait n see game. Lovely day on your walk. have a good weekend in spite of the weather!
...nature is something to be thankful for.
Such a pretty area!
Soft puffy cloudy days are always pleasant. another name for these clouds is fair weather cumulus.
So lovely. Praying for those in the path of the hurricane!
I'm giving all the blogs I visit fair warning that I might be real scarce as we sort out internet in the country. It will be satellite and just not sure how it will work for blogging. Cheers.
very beautiful pictures
Beautiful captures. You do see a lot of Butterflies and yes Fall is approaching fast.
Enjoy the rest of the week

A beautiful walk and I love the butterflies! I have had leaves falling in my yard for a couple of weeks, but they are all brown.
Hi there, I'm happy to share your walk from labor day. Yes, hope we all don't have too much impact from Florence!
Beautiful view of the lake. Oh to be the only boat on the lake. Paradise! Love the monarch and swallowtails. My zinnias just keep them coming.
Beautiful Butterflies Eileen. I hope everyone stay out of Hurricane Florence.
I love the butterflies. Isn't it funny how one or two trees can get ahead of everyone else.
