Happy Monday everyone!
I hope everyone is feeling well, taking care. We recently did our food shop getting most of what was on our shop list. Hubby and I are well, taking our walks locally. Sometimes we see others walking on the fire roads. Most of the time it's just us, the trees and the birds.
Around our yard, hubby has cleaned the leaves out of the ponds. The rabbit statues are placed in their spot in the garden. We are seeing a lot of frog eggs in one pond.
Living next to a forest, we are constantly having leaves fly into our yard. Our bunnies do not care about the carpet of leaves. BTW, I have been seeing at least 2 live bunnies in our yard. A chipmunk too!
A look at our local Great Blue Herons on their nest. These are views from the local fire road near our home.
A pretty sky, a peaceful and calm day in the neighborhood.
Some scenes from our fire road walk. A few more trees came down, we had to climb over them or walk around. We have been having some windy days.
A view looking up, from our fire road walk through a pine tree forest.
This hawk has been hanging around the yard, it look large maybe a female? I was guessing at the id, a Red-shouldered Hawk. The same day I saw a smaller hawk on the side of our yard, maybe a Cooper's or the Sharp-shinned hawk. I was not able to get a photo of the smaller hawk.
My wish for you, stay calm and healthy. Enjoy life and be happy!

Beautiful bright yellow flowers to brighten up the day. You can enjoy the nature around you without having to worry about social distancing. Over here, there are road blocks to discourage us from venturing out except to buy essentials and only 1 person from each household is allowed out. Stay healthy and stay safe.
dear Eileen
it is nice to learn that you are enjoying your days with beautiful sights and creatures you shared here :)
everything shutdown here ,summer vacations have started before time ,only basic supplies shop are opened along with medical care
i hope and pray that all resolves soon by the grace of Lord and people come back to their routine
i enjoyed walk glimpse but what i loved most is the magnificent female hawk :) such a beauty !
stay safe you to friend!

What a love of lovely images to start the morning here in the Bonny Land... These are all a balm to the soul! YAM xx
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful series of photos of your walk, you live in a beautiful environment.
I hope you stay healthy.
Best regards Irma
Lovely bunnies, both real and not. :)
Stay safe you too...
Happy new week ahead!
Hello,
Beautiful statues and real bunnies. They are very cute.
Have a wonderful day!
This is going to be a long siege, something we all have to get used to. Stay well, Eileen.
Muito lindas as fotos e até coelhinhos de Páscoa que será bem diferente esse anos, pelo jeito! Pena! beijos, SAÚDE! chica
Glad to hear you're well.
Love the garden bunnies, and that real one is adorable.
You certainly live in a beautiful area. Love your flowers, bunny statues, and of course the real bunny too. Happy Monday!
Great photos, Eileen. Nice bunnies especially the real one. :)
Stay safe and healthy and have a wonderful day.
I am calm but fretting, I think it is because there is no end in sight and we have no idea when there will be. your photos are just plain gorgeous, all of them... can't pick a favorite because I love them all. I will be trying out the new seniors only hour tomorrow morning at WM and hope the shelves have something on them.. we are getting low on supplies
Very pretty hawk pictures! I miss seeing the two hawks nesting on my office building. I wonder if they have eggs yet. My husband saw two toads on our patio Friday night. That's the day it was so warm (78) and gnats were everywhere! Today we are back to freezing weather (just around 32 here). Stay healthy and safe!
So happy to see your photos of your walk, and critters that you captured. I appreciate your good eye, and that of your camera lens!
Fantastic mosaics you have there, especially the Red-shouldered Hawk, precious.
All the photos are beautiful.
The photo I liked the most was the last one of the hawk, wonderful bird, great shot.
Keep safe and well
You are so lucky to have the fire road for a route! Great pics, Eileen.
You live in a beautiful area with lots of critters. It looks like it would be easy to stay apart .
Your daffodils are so bright and cheerful! We haven't quite gotten that far into spring. Beautiful images of the hawk. Glad you are still able to get out and enjoy nature.
Teresa@Eden Hills
Beautiful. Stay safe.
That little bunny sure is sweet! Lots to see when you get outside. People are walking in our neighborhood but still very few on the forest trails. We saw 2 people total yesterday! Take care and stay healthy my friend. Hope you're reading a good book. I'm still reading a Charles Finch book. Hugs!

I am so ready for a day with skies like these! Hoping we have a bit of sunshine at some point today...it does not look too promising right now. It would be so much fun to live that close to the rookery....I enjoy your shots so much. And I LOVE your fire trail.
...you sure have some mighty special things in your part of the world.
Lovely spot. We don't see many rabbits around here - I think it's because we do have plenty of coyote and fox.
My favorite is the sky shot. Sounds like the two of you are now ready to enjoy the season.
Hi Eileen
Your world looks as beautiful as always with so much nature in your backyard! I love your ceramic bunnies. We leave leaves on the ground all winter as the deer eat them, but once all our snow melts we are going to do a big clean up. Stay healthy!
What a wonderful place to live. We have woods and a creek that back up to our property and so much wildlife. I enjoy it everyday and right now it helps keep me grounded while the world is in turmoil.
Stay in and safe.

Beautiful photos! We are still wet and gray. *sigh* I have landscaping to clean up for spring. Stay well.
I'm waiting for my first bunny. We had snow this morning. Not likely to appear quite so soon, though who knows?
Stress level is high here and viruses rising exponentially. Our governor locked us down today -- essential services only. Stay at Home till April 13. No egg hunt with the little ones this year, I'm afraid. But that's OK. Rick is getting groceries and I am staying in with Lizzie, who is blissfully unaware of everything but lunch, nap, and good girl treats. I envy her.
A wonderful Post as ever... I enjoyed reading. Happy MosaicMonday.
Stay healthy too.
we are healthy and happy...and the hubs and i are still talking to each other!! hehehehehe
i adore the sweet bunny, mine have been running around like crazy!! beautiful images today, and an awesome capture of the hawk. i hope your song birds stay well too!!!
Hi, Spring doesn't know about COVID-19 ---and our little flowers /shrubs, etc. are BLOOMING like crazy this year... I think that is just for US this year especially ---bringing a little joy to all of us.
Hope you and your family are all doing well...
Stay HEALTHY and SAFE.
Hugs,
Betsy
Daffodils brighten up a gray day. The blue sky through the pines is a very pretty shot. Have a great day and start to your week.
Oh my favorite is the little bunny ~ unfortunately, we have foxes and hawks around ~ Your nature photography is always wonderful! Thanks.

I was surprised the first time I saw a blue heron in a tree. I never associated them with trees before that day.
Your corner of the world is beautiful, Eileen. Love the birds you get to enjoy, too. We are staying safe and keeping the Faith! Happy Monday to you!
how cool to see frog eggs. :) I have not seen that since I was a child. Hardly see frogs either.
Bunnies and daffodils ... these sure signs of spring inject a little optimism into the day. Thanks for sharing our world.
Sure nice to see those daffodils and great shot of the hawk.
I've been seeing chipmunks and rabbits too.
Love your rabbits, both real and non real, and your hawks. We have a sharp shinned hawk show up from time to time. The other birds beat it but the squirrels don't but they keep a sharp on it until it leaves.
Stay safe!!
Eileen - I look at these photos, or even out my window at the clouds floating in the blue sky, and it is possible to imagine for the moment that the pandemic is just a bad dream. Love the daffodils - we are still a long ways from any flowers here! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday, and stay well!
Glad to hear your regular outdoor activities isn't curtailed at all. I have to get a little outdoorsy activity of my own soon. Been cooped up at home.
Worth a Thousand Word
there is so much to be grateful for. Take care and enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds you.
Color Bunnies, And Birds - Dynamite - Thanx For Sharing These Gems

Great photos, the daffodils, the rabbits, stone and live one, and that lovely heron and hawk, on top of those surroundings with that blue sky. You took us on a wonderful walk Eileen, thank you.
It looks lovely where you are! Stay well.

Living in an isolated spot vwould be perfect at the moment but I don't. I did manage a few circuits of the local rugby field earlier as there was no-one using it! Got tk take what you canat the moment. Love the photos.
I love the critters!
Beautiful beautiful windows of nature you brought to us again Eileen. I'm just very fascinated of these giant herons on how they can perch on branches with their majestic size. Please stay safe and thank you for taking us where you took us, without us leaving home or even our desks.

Mmmm, I'm loving the fresh air in all your photos. I'm finding that one of the upsides with fewer people wandering about in their cars. We're noticing a few more birds, and different ones, visiting our yard. I hope they're finding food back there. They can definitely find things for their nests. Thanks for the look-see of your part of the world, Eileen, especially of the daffodils in bloom. They always give me a smile. :-) Take care.
Once again you've spoiled us with a great selection of photographs and mosaics.
Love the daffodils such a cheerful colour and the sky shots too … lovely blue sky.
Have a good week, stay safe and well.
All the best Jan
Spring is strong ongoing here my tulips are blooming if the deer dont decide to have them as a snack..
Good idea to spend your time on the walking trail...
...and your rant was perfect!
Gracias por toda la vida que compartes amiga. Preciosas fotos!1
Deseo que estéis bien. Cuídate. Eileen
Desde casa te mando este abrazo 🙅
glad to know that you and your enjoy walking outside....
Stay safe
It's good to see you are both getting out in the fresh air Eileen. Our daffs are out and so is the sunshine so we are feeling not so bad considering what is happening everywhere around the world. Enjoy the rest of week and stay well.
I am so happy to learn that you are enjoying your days with the beautiful images you shared here.
Have a nice day, Eileen!
