Hello,
Happy Monday! It is my 11th blog anniversary, these years have flown by. I have many great memories looking back at my older blog post. My post shared years of birding, enjoying all things nature and traveling. All the things I love and I hope you love too. During the first part of 2020, we were limited on what we could do and where we could go due to the Covid virus. I am not sure if or when things will ever return to normal. Covid is not something I like to blog about, I just wish for happier times and good health for all.
So images randomly picked from my past 11 years of blogging. I hope you enjoy and I thank all my blog visitors for all the past and future comments.
I have my eye on you! Wood Duck , Nov 2009..Original post Wood Duck_November 2009

SO SORRY,, somehow I deleted all the comments off of this post. I should not blog when I am not fully awake.
Thanks for all your comments, they are much appreciated.. Have a great day!!!
HI Eileen Well I am glad someone else can do this and I know how you feel when you realise what you have done! No one is perfect so CONGRATULATION ON YOUR 11TH ANNIVERSARY. Quite an achievement. There are not many now still blogging that can say that. The images you picked are brilliant and I loved seeing Goldie again. it is funny but when I see a retriever at home, I do remember Goldie and my dog. Love the shot of the sea framed by the wood. Stay safe and have a good week.
Thank you Margaret. I appreciate all your visits, links and comments over the past years. Take care and stay well. Have a great week!
Congratulations on your 11th anniversary! Love your photo series, and the stories that come with them. Greetings from Sri Lanka!

Congrats Eileen! Wish you continue to blog for many years to come and your post remind me what I forget. June 20 marked my 15th blog anniversary. Blogging is a best social media platform I personally feel sharing.

Hi Eileen, you're not alone. Earlier this year or last, I thought I was just deleting spam and ended up deleting comments for a whole bunch of posts. I can laugh about that slip now. lol Cheers to 11 years, Eileen! And, to many more!!
Many congratulations on your 11th Blog Anniversary.
Once again you've included some wonderful photographs and memories.
Hope your week is going well.
Stay safe and well.
All the best Jan
what a wonderful post. And Congrats to the 11 years. I must have been around then as well as it was your bird-shots from Costa Rica that made ME go there in 2011. So, I loved t to see your Tucans. I did see them too. It has been a pleasure to follow you around all those years :)
Sorry about the comments. Is it possible to write to Blogger about it? They must have backups? It must be a Helpdesk somewhere.
Take care and good luck. Hope we will still have some years online.
Congratulations Eileen on your 11th Blogging anniversary. You have always been a lovely part of my blogging world with your cheery comments and enthusiasm for my wanderings. Take care and stay safe.
Hi Eileen, First of all, WOW, Congratulations on My World, 11th Blog Anniversary! Your blog is absolutely one of the best I've encountered in the Blogosphere! :-) Love your photography in this post ... just wonderful. Thank you for your kind comment on my blog yesterday, it is sure good to hear from you. I did leave a reply for you on my blog and hope you will click by and take a look. Again, Happy Anniversary, and have a happy rest of the week!
Eileen - congratulations on your 11th anniversary of blogging - what an accomplishment! I have only been doing it for three years and already I would have a hard time selecting just a few photos or mosaics. You did a fine job - I think my favorites are the heron and the sunset. Thanks for the shout out to Mosaic Monday - your ongoing support is truly appreciated!
Hello John, you are so kind. Thank you for the nice comment. I hope you continue to blog, keep in touch. Stay safe and take care. Have a great day!
