Our World, My World

 Happy Monday!




I have been enjoying my back yard birds and blooms, they are a simple pleasure during these Covid times.  Maryland is opening up a little more each week.  Now, we have open restaurants with inside dining at a 50% capacity limit.  Some places are closing streets in the afternoon and setting up tables outside.  Hubby and I prefer the outside dining at this time.  We finally saw our son and DIL,  we stopped for some carry-out dinner to take to their place and ate outside on their deck.

Some images of our clematis and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird sitting near the feeder. 

Love this clematis, lots of blooms this year.

 Hubby and I enjoy our walks on the local fire roads, some of nice views of the reservoir.   A view of the fire road, our walk for the day.

These are a few of the birds we saw off the fire road, the House Wren top left, Gray Catbird top right. Bottom on left I am guessing it is a Wood PeWee and bottom right is the Red-eyed Vireo.

These pretty ferns grow along the fire road. We heard lots of birds around us, like the Waterthrush, Ovenbird, Titmouse, Chickadees, WB Nuthatch, Pileated Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Scarlet Tanagers, various Vireos and Flycatchers. One sounded like a Acadian Flycatcher.

 We saw a few butterflies flying around during our walk, this Black Swallowtail landed nearby.

 A view of the reservoir.

 The mountain laurels are blooming, mostly white blooms. Some times they are pink in color.

I hope you enjoyed these images from my little corner of the world,  we continue to do well. BTW, I finally found yeast in the store and have made my first loaf of no-knead bread.  It was super easy to make, it turned out well and tasted delicious.  Next on my list to make is homemade pizza/flatbread dough. I am looking for an easy recipe..

Staying safe and still keeping our distance until we feel safe to be traveling more.   I hope you all are doing well too.  I hope everyone is safe, happy and healthy. Take care and stay well.
