Happy Monday everyone!
We are just days away from the end of 2020, can you believe it? Whew, what a year this has been. The virus has made us change our way of life. Hubby is looking forward to be able to get the vaccine. We've have made it this far, surviving this pandemic. We can all make it through to the end, stay safe.
1. From my backyard, I love skywatching.
2. A winter sky and sunset.
3. A walk on the local fire road to the lake, a view of the Bald Eagle's nest and some pretty berries.
4. A Bald Eagle seen not far from the old nest, I am hoping they are successful nesting this year.
5. Bald Eagle and the old Eagle's nest used last year.
6. Me and my shadow walking on the fire road..
7. We saw a couple of fishing boats on the lake, the water was choppy from the wind.
8. It was a pretty sky day, but very cold and windy.
9. A view of the trail next to the lake. I believe the berries are from Viburnum bushes.
10. Heading back up the fire road, I had to get away from the wind near the water. Hubby, my shadow wasn't ready to leave.
Hubby and I are hanging in there, happy and healthy. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
Please keep wearing your mask and keep your distance! Be safe, stay safe!
I wish everyone all the best in 2021, a very happy and healthy New Year!

Hello,
ReplyDeletethe Bald eagle is always a treat to see. A funny company during a walk.
I will also try to get the vaccine, of course when possible for my age. In the meantime let's stay safe!
All the best for the new week!

Happy New Year, Eileen, to you and your shadow and thanks for sharing your world. It’s great 2020 will soon be over … I had such hopes when it first came around that it would be a good one but it turned out so awful for so many. The vaccines hopefully will improve the situation and take care of this newer faster spreading strain as well. Meanwhile, we are the lucky ones who have beautiful places to roam.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment!
DeleteIt is sad to hear of so many losses this past year. I am hopeful for 2021, may it be a great year for us all. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!
Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful series of photos.
Nice walk along the lake, I also love the sunsets.
I hope you get the vaccine soon, they only start here on January 8, we are now in qarantine because my husband has taken a neighbor somewhere, it later turned out that she had corona.
This morning I went to the test street and my husband has to go tomorrow, now we hope we are tested negative.
So it can always go wrong just before the vaccine, we notice now.
Greetings Irma
Thank you Irma!
DeleteI hope you and your husband test negative for Covid. The vaccines can not come fast enough, I hope you stay safe. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!
You really live in a beautiful area Eileen. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful sights this year - looking forward to visiting you in 2021 = Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol!

Wonderful captures of the eagle. Thank you... yes, we are healthy too. Hope we stay and looking foward for better times. It's continuing difficult here, but we do our best.

I am sure that we are all looking forward to finally shaking off our COVID shackles. Getting everyone vaccinated is still a ways off, however.
ReplyDeleteThank you David!
DeleteI know my hubby will go for the vaccine as soon as he can.
Enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!

Nice review. I think many people are changing their habits and learning to happy with the situation we have now. Back when I used to fish a lot I disliked being in a cold wind on the water.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alan!
DeleteSending my wishes for a happy and healthy New Year to you and your family. Take care, have a happy week ahead.
What beautiful skies and look at that majestic Eagle. Such a great photo. Happy to hear you are both staying well and healthy. Seems like I just got used to writing 2020 but I'm happy to switch to writing 2021!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen!

ReplyDeleteThank you Polly!

I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to watching winter skies. I like summer skies where I can sit in comfort. The fishermen must be dedicated to be out on a miserable day. But then what do I know. I've done my share of ice fishing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Red!
DeleteThey must really love to fish, to be out on the water on such a cold windy day.
Sending my wishes for a happy and healthy New Year to you and your family. Take care, have a happy week ahead.
Beautiful photos and no I can't believe it will be 2021 in a few days.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen!

That was a nice walk, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad had his first vaccine injection last week so things are starting to look up. Stay safe!
Thank you RedPat!
DeleteI hope your Dad is OK!
Sending my wishes for a happy and healthy New Year to you and your family. Take care, have a happy week ahead.
Eileen - gorgeous sky shots!!! I chuckled when I saw the fishing boat - all the fishermen here are ice fishing! Thinking about the bald eagles and nesting brings spring to mind ... the days are slowly getting longer!!! Thanks for faithfully linking to Mosaic Monday, and Happy New Year to you and your shadow!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie!
DeleteAt least it is not cold enough for our lake to freeze here, it could happen.
Sending my wishes for a happy and healthy New Year to you and your family. Take care, have a happy week ahead.
Beautiful skies and waters! The best thing about this year is IT'S OVER!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda!
DeleteYes, we are all happy 2020 is coming to an end!

Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteit has indeed been a very strange year and I really hope that by 2021 we will have that virus under control.
Your photos from your backyard are truly beautiful to see. Beautiful colors in the sky. the bald eagle is also a beauty of a bird.
I wish you and your hubby a nice new year and stay safe.
Greetings, Helma
Thank you Helma!
DeleteI am hoping the vaccine will help control the virus!

Wow Eileen, it was wonderful catching up with all your lovely winter views! Your captures make these grey days here brighter. I do miss sunshine! Wishing you the best and I shall post this Saturday on your Critter blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen!
DeleteI am thankful for the sunny skies, it is still very cold and windy here.

Thank you Sami! I hope you stay safe and healthy!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day! Happy New Year!
Like you Eileen, I am pleased to get through 2020 unscathed, mentally and physically. It has been a poor year. Birders are better placed than many to survive such trauma through our close encounters with wildlife. Being a blogger helps too by keeping the mind active.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you.
Thank you Phil!
DeleteI wish you and your family a very happy and healthy New Year!
Preciosos cielos de invierno.
ReplyDeleteTe deseo un buen año 2021 Eileen. Y seguir compartiendo con ganas.
Feliz Año Nuevo. Cuidaros.
Un abrazo.
Thank you Laura!
DeleteI wish you and your family a very happy and healthy New Year!

Well glad you all are happy and healthy---it is a major goal for some. Love the first pic and of course the Eagle shots are always welcome
ReplyDeleteMB
Thank you MB!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
Hi Eileen, The more I enjoy looking at your blog the more I realize how much we have in common. We both love skywatching and nature photography. You publish an excellent blog and inspire me. I especially enjoy the way you organize the photos and include interesting captions/descriptions. It is tough to pick a favorite but in this post I think it would be the shots of the eagle and the way you included a shot of last year's nest. I hope they will be there again for you in 2021. It is good to hear that you and hubby are doing well and staying healthy. Happy New Year to you and hubby. I'm looking forward to Viewing Nature with Eileen in 2021. :-) John
ReplyDeleteThank you John! Your comments are always so nice, I always appreciate your visit and comments.
DeleteI do love skywatching, it my simple pleasure. I wish you all the best in 2021, a happy and healthy New Year!
