Happy Thursday,
Missing our traveling, the urge to go somewhere was strong. We had been talking about Chincoteague Island Virginia, the weather was perfect so off we go. We wore our mask and kept our distance, it was easy take the necessary health precautions. I have lots more photos from our Chincoteague Island Virginia getaway. We saw a beautiful sunset, the wild ponies, lots of birds and the beautiful beach. At 3pm they open the wildlife drive, hubby and I had great bird sightings, pretty views of fall colors and the marsh land.
1. I am guessing at the bird id below, a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron. It has the dark beak and little white spots on the coverts.
It's a beautiful day,
don't let it get away! A song from U2, is stuck in my head. It's a beautiful day!
2. Hubby and I both love spending time outdoors with nature. We rarely visit cities, I am thankful for green spaces, parks and beaches.
Below various ducks, Great Egret and the Belted Kingfisher.
3. I like watching the birds lift off the ground, fly around only to land in the same spot. Below were various gulls, cormorants and terns.
4. Me and my shadow have some long legs, the day was almost over and we were heading to a spot to watch the sunset.
5. A Great Blue Heron has it's own fishing spot.
6. Sunset at Tom's Cove in Assateague Island National Seashore, thankful for a beautiful day and lovely sunset.
7. A beautiful sky and sunset.
8. Tom's Cove sunset, there is a water tower to the left side.
I am thankful for beautiful weather and skies and gorgeous sunsets.
I am thankful for everything nature related.
Live simple and be happy! 😊 Keep smiling!

Good Morning Eileen. You and hubby are people after my own heart. The thought of going into a big city or even a large town fills me with dread. I just love the outdoors and peace & quiet. Living the simple life is where the world took a wrong turning. Love your picture of the young Night Heron and your sunsets at the end of a lovely day.
To witness a splendid sunset like that at the end of a great day is certainly the proverbial icing on the cake. I am itching for another trip to the ocean, but I fear that Covid is going to prevent me from doing much of anything for some time to come. I will nit be smelling salt air for some time yet,
Thank you for the comment!
Take care, wishing you a happy day!
Thanks Phil! Yes, everything nature related is my happy place.
Take care, wishing you a happy day!

It does not look like COVID is going away anytime soon.
Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for sharing these wonderful images. Love the Belted kingfisher.
I am thankful for green spaces and nature reserves too!
Wishing you a good day and a serene upcoming weekend!

Gratitude for reading posts of natural scenes first thing in the morning! Thanks Eileen, your photos of birds, and that sunset definitely inspired me this morning. Have a good day!
We also love the same space as You Love. The only city that I have ever visited is when we drove through one because we absolutely had to because we were stuck on an interstate.
You always have such terrific bird photos! That is a spectacular sunset.
Wow, such great photos, that last sunset shot is amazing! It's perfect that you both love being out in nature, it's the perfect thing to be doing these days where you are nice and safe. Have a great weekend :)
Beautiful photos of the birds. I love your sunset shot, it's stunning.
Enjoy your day and stay safe!

Lovely pictures taken at the late afternoon "golden hour". My favorite time to take them! That Kingfisher picture should be framed! Beautiful!
Gorgeous sunset!! Love all the birds too...Hope your week has been a good one there is lots to be thankful for indeed.
Beautiful Day is one of what I called my orchard songs...listened to it hundreds of times probably. While I worked.

Fabulous sky! Took me a second to realize it's not the sun that's red, but the sky.

Great images, we also like visiting natural areas rather than cities (since we already live in a city!). I love that U2 song.
Something to be thankful for , for sure.
Wow, I love the sunset shots. They are really pretty! So nice to have a place in nature you can enjoy without crowds, especially now. Have a great weekend!
Lots to smile about and to be grateful for here! I’m glad you got away and out in nature. It’s such a wonderful place!
Your heron shots are my favourites here.
Thanks Alan! I enjoy most of U2's songs.
Have a great day and happy weekend!
Thanks you! Happy weekend to you!

i really like the sunset
The sunset is fantastic, I never seen it like in the last photo. The sun is so big.
Love the Night Heron! Beautiful sunset!
These are all glorious! I know what you mean about the birds lifting off and then landing where they were!It's like someone gives a signal and you wonder what the plan is! Loved the shadow too!
A beautiful sunset! Thank you for linking up and have a great week!
My daughter (Annabel) suffered from schizophrenia for 5 years. I had no idea what was happening and didn’t know where to turn for help. It was hard then because I really didn’t understand the symptoms earlier until she was diagnosed. There was a time she decided to get away from everyone, I was not excluded. I had to sit and cry almost every day because I felt helpless as a single mother (she is all I have got). The anguish I went through taking care of her alone is beyond explanation because there was no support whatsoever from the dad or family members. I fought for proper medical care and humane treatment; I did everything within my reach to get her cured but all to no avail. Countless different medications was prescribed (Zyprexa, fluphenazine, Risperdal, quetiapine, etc.) that she was taking but all we could get was myriad of side effects such as rigidity, drowsiness, dizziness, tremors and restlessness which tends to worsen the already damaged situation. Frustration was the order of the day. I wrote a couple of messages to Ontario Mental Health Foundation for help because watching my daughter go through such was devastating. It was at this foundation someone shared a testimony about DR James herba mix medicine, how effective it is and how she went through the most difficult times of her life trying to help her mom fight Schizophrenia. Being that I was already at the verge of giving up because I just couldn't imagine waking up every morning to fight the same demons that left me so tired the night before. I had to contact the doctor,on his email (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com) from our conversations; I was relieved and convinced that the result is going to be positive because I was made to contact people with worse cases. Today, the awful situation of my daughter has gone by. Her happy life is back. She is now a schizophrenia survivor and I am glad because my daily routine activities can now kick off without obstructions. Don't let Schizophrenia hinder you from living a desired life and also, never allow anyone to decide for you especially when they don't know what you have to go through to get to where you are. I was almost discouraged by the doctor but then, I remembered that: I have to shield my daughter’s destiny with courage, faith and perseverance because she is not in her right state of mind and that the bravery and freedom from fear is found in the ‘doing’. Her life is now a testimony. After my daughter got cured,from the herbal mix medicine Dr James prepared and sent to me, she said, Mom “I just thought, ‘Well, I’m a weirdo, I’ll never be normal, then I said, my daughter, life itself is a misery and we get stronger in the places we have been broken. Thanks to you Dr. James for your excellent counseling, no more psychotic symptoms for the past 3 years and 4 months now. To know more about Dr.James and the effectiveness of his Herbs and roots extracts and he said he got cures for diseases like Bipolar,DIABETES, HPV,SHINGLES,CANCER, ALS, HEPATITIS B, KIDNEY DISEASE, HERPES, Ovarian Cancer,Pancreatic cancers, Bladder cancer,Skin cancer, Prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Autism,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,psoriasis ,Tach Diseases,Lupus,Dementia.kidney cancer, lung cancer,. You can reach him on his Email at ... drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com. I believe you will testify just like me.
