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!

Happy last Monday of 2020. Stay safe
Much🍷love
Hello,
the 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!
Pretty scenery Eileen. My two favorites are the eagle in the tree & the boats on the water!
Beautiful area you live in! We have bald eagles on the CT river too, and spotted one circling one of our fields this year! Always a real treat to see one...
Eileen, sempre tão lindas tuas fotos. Bons últimos dias do ano! bjs, chica
Hello Eileen,
Nice pictures. Great to see that fire colored skies. So nice.
And what an amazing pictures of that eagle. That's so special.
Let's hope for a good new year without the virus.
Greetings, Marco
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.
Hi Eileen,
What 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
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!
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.
Have a good last week in this year. Happy MosaicMonday
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.
Hello Eileen,
As always beautiful photos! The sky is so pretty, and the photos of the Bald Eagle are great. It must be nice to watch the eagle so close.

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.
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!
Beautiful images. I hope you had a happy Christmas and very best wishes for a better 2021.
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.
Beautiful photos and no I can't believe it will be 2021 in a few days.
That was a nice walk, Eileen!
My Dad had his first vaccine injection last week so things are starting to look up. Stay safe!
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!!!
Beautiful skies and waters! The best thing about this year is IT'S OVER!
Amazing photos.
Stay safe. Have a great week ahead.
Great photos, I also loved the eagle. All the best!

At least it is not cold enough for our lake to freeze here, it could happen.

my daily walk is boring, boring, boring.. no beautiful fire road to wander on.. Beau would love this fire road.
Thanks Sandra! Our dogs loved running on the fire roads here, they looked like the were smiling as they ran. Take care, enjoy your day!
ooooh the skies are so beautiful, i am an "always" sky watcher!! i enjoyed seeing the bald eagle, you captured some great images!!
Thank you Debbie! Skywatching is a simple pleasure I really enjoy!
Take care, have a great day!
Hi Eileen,
it 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
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!
Thank you Helma!
I am hoping the vaccine will help control the virus!

Beautiful photos Eileen. Love the sunset photos specially.
Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy 2021, hopefully with a vaccine around the corner, so we can all go back to our normal lives. Keep safe :)
Thank you Sami! I hope you stay safe and healthy!
Take 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.
Happy New Year to you.
Preciosos cielos de invierno.
Te deseo un buen año 2021 Eileen. Y seguir compartiendo con ganas.
Feliz Año Nuevo. Cuidaros.
Un abrazo.
What a beautiful area for a walk, even if it was cold it's nice you got to get outside and enjoy nature :)
Hope that you had a wonderful Christmas are enjoying the last day of 2020 :)
Glorious!
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

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
