Our World, My World

 Happy Monday,

 I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas, New Year and any holiday you happen celebrate.  I know some blogging friends took a blog break over the holiday season so I wish everyone all the best in 2021, a very happy and healthy New Year!

I am sharing some mosaics from 2020, another look back at the past year. Some of my favorite places, photos and happy times with my hubby.   I can not complain about the past year, hubby and I were able to get outdoors and enjoy nature, birds and beautiful scenery. We managed to stay virus-free by wearing our mask and keeping the social distance that our governor requested.

1.  January 2020, we walked around the gardens at Washington Oaks State Park located in Flagler County Florida.

2.  February 2020, the NCR bike trail is one of our local "go to" places for a walk.

3.  March 2020, before the lockdown we were in Ocean City Maryland.  We had view of the Worm Super Moon from the beach.

 

4,  April 2020, I watch my yard birds all year round these are some birds from April: the American Goldfinch and a Pine Warbler, Chipping Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco and a Brown Thrasher. 

5.  May 2020: May wildflowers seen along the Susquehanna River trail.  

6.  June 2020, A Scarlet Tanager was seen from the Limberlost Trail in Shenandoah NP. 

7. July 2020, me and my shadow, views are from  the wildlife drive at Blackwater NWR in Cambridge Md.  I am looking forward to hearing the Red-winged Blackbirds singing.

8.  August 2020, the Hemlock Gorge trail is another local trail where hubby and I enjoy our hikes.

9. September 2020, just a couple of cute frogs in our little back yard pond. I can find beautiful nature and wildlife in my yard, I do not have to go far.

10.  October 2020, back yard butterflies are beautiful. 

11.  November 2020, a visit to Assateague Island State Park and National Seashore. 

12.  December 2020, it is always a treat to see the Bald Eagles.  This one was seen near the dam at Loch Raven reservoir. 

Spending time doing things hubby and I enjoy help to keep us mentally happy during this past year.  Any time spent outdoors in nature is a stress free time for me.  I hope everyone can find things they enjoy doing during these Covid times. Until we feel safe, we will continue follow the safety precautions. I think due to holiday celebrations, the Covid cases are going up in Maryland, the positivity rate is now 6.9 in Maryland according to Johns Hopkins testing tracker.  Maryland's rate is still lower than the neighboring states, Pennsylvania's rate is 44.1, Delaware is 8.9 and Virginia is 14.0 and West Virginia is 11.1.

 Please keep wearing your mask and keep your distance!  Be safe, stay safe!
