Hello, Happy Thursday!
Some days hubby and I stay close to home and take our walks on the local fire road. On this day we walked round trip 3 miles to the lake.
"I am grateful for this beautiful world we call our home."
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Some pretty wild roses seen along the fire road.
Nature is not a place to visit, it is home!
A look into the forest from the fire road.
A view of the lake and pretty sky!
Canada Geese were seen across the lake.
"Be thankful for the beauty of nature."
The Indigo Buntings were singing loudly. On our walk I also heard the Scarlet Tanagers, Ovenbirds, Northern Parula, Wood Thrush, and the Yellow-billed Cuckoo. I had a quick sighting of a few American Redstarts and heard some unknown bird sounds.
I am thankful and happy I have a calm life.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hosting Thankful Thursday.
Thank you to Yogi the host of Skywatch Friday

Almost home we took a peek at the Great Blue Heron chicks on the nest, they are growing fast.

Molte belle queste foto Eillein... sei molto fortunata di vivere in questo luogo.
I have only seen Indigo buntings and Scarlet tanagers a handful of times around here, always thrilled to find one. We have Orioles in our fields nesting for the first time since living here at This Old House, and I'm thrilled. You live in a lovely area of the world! Great walking trails!
...and I'm thankful for the beauty of nature!
Um show de belezas trazidas! ADOREI! um lindo dia! beijos, chica
There is little quite so joyful as a male Indigo Bunting pouring his heart out from the top of a tree.
What a beautiful place for a walk. It's lovely seeing the different birds that you have to us in the UK.. that Indigo Bunting is gorgeous.
What a lovely walk, enjoyed seeing your photos.
Um belo passeio, gostei das fotografias e aproveito para desejar um bom Feriado.

It seems you have some lovely walks near home. Luckily we do too. Enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for coming by my blog this week. Enjoy summer. It has been freezing here today.
What beautiful photos.
Great catch of the Bunting singing his little heart out! What a lovely walk. Hope you have a great weekend...and almost Happy Equinox!
Beautiful pics Eileen... Happy weekend ahead..
She IS a wondrous thing, this giant blue marble we live on.
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful series of photos of the area near your house.
You live beautifully in nature.
Everything perfectly photographed, my congratulations.
Best regards, Irma
Looks like you had an enjoyable walk on fire road. It's a wonderful life!
These pictures are gorgeous! I especially love the lake, forest, and wild roses... so pretty! I'm so glad you stopped to smell the roses and shared them here with us!
We've had so much rain and thunderstorms in the Midwest, we haven't been able to go for a walk, but I loved seeing your adventure! Thank you for sharing!
Blessings, Net

Those baby Herons are getting SO big! They must have to be fed a lot...all day long! Love your quotes today. I may need to steal some more....oh I mean borrow! heeheehee! Hugs!
I love the mix of quotes and nature photos. The gratitude quote is my favorite.
Wonderful shots!
Beautiful picture of the Indigo Bunting. My parents used to see them, and my husband did as a kid...I've never seen one!
Home is where the heart is and you have a lot of beautiful nature to keep you there. Happy Day.
You are lucky to have that fire road for your walks. I like that view into the forest, Eileen!

Oscar Wilde decía que una flor florece para su propia alegría. Y también para la nuestra😉 Que nos encanta verlas crecer. El lago está precioso Eileen.
Gracias por tus visitas y comentarios.
Te deseo un buen jueves.
Un abrazo
A really spot to walk with all sorts of natural wonders to behold!
Es tut gut,wenn man wie Sie, inmitten der Natur zu Hause ist. Ihr Zitat ist sehr ansprechend und die Fotos zeigen all die Schönheiten.
Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland
I feel relaxed and at peace with all these nature scenes you shared Eileen! And I totally agree about Gratitude. We should teach our kids to be thankful, that way, we can assure them that they will live happy lives :)
Que fotos más bonitas.
The bunting was singing for all it was worth. Such a lovely walk!

What a jewel is the indigo bunting?! YAM xx
That's such a beautiful lake, and so nice to have it within walking distance!
Beautiful cyber walk for me. You live in Paradise.
Worth a Thousand Words
You have a beautiful place to walk. I walk/hike around our farm, but not always the scenes you see. Thanks for linking up today, Eileen!
Your pictures show that God has created a beautiful world for us to enjoy. :)
Good shot of the heron nest.
What a fun walk that must have been...with beauty all around.
You always find the most interesting birds and scenes to share
Wonderful pictures!Blessings.
A gorgeous place to walk and lovely things to see. I love the wild rose.
Pretty views of the lake, and I love the birds and the roses, too!
Have a wonderful day!
What a fabulous nature you have done. Love it.
I love seeing your heron chicks. They're getting pretty big. Have you seen them in the water or are they too young to be there yet?
Super post Eileen, enjoyed seeing all this lovely scenery and birdlife. Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your day and have a great weekend :)
Wonderful sky and nature shots ~ delightful post!
