I have more images from our recent trip to Maryland's Eastern shore and Ocean City MD.  It was good to get away and we were outside walking or driving much of the trip so we could do our social distancing.  

1. The following images are all from the Indian River Inlet in Delaware, not far from the Maryland line. Click on photos for larger viewing.  

2. The Red-throated Loon is similar to the Common Loon but has white in front of their eyes.

3. The Long-tailed Ducks are beautiful. 

4. Double-crested Cormorants, I was told there was a Great Cormorant hanging out on this tower too. 

5. Female Common Eider with one adult male. The adult male also has the long nose but is white on the back. 

6. Common Eider, male and females. Possible Red-throated Loon second on the right side of the photo. 

7. Sanderlings on the jetty.  

8. Loons and Long-tailed Ducks.

9. Various images from the Indian River Inlet, Delaware. 

Our grandson Wyatt is just over a month old. He is growing quickly and is doing well.  He is loved and so adorable.

 Below the top photo is of our son and our dog Daisy, Daisy was a guardian over our son Brian. Bottom photo is our son's dog Nibbles watching over Wyatt.

Happy Thankful Thursday!

Welcome Spring! May your days blossom with joy and blessings.

Hello, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.  It is best to take some precautions than to end up sick. Maryland schools are closed for a few weeks, large gatherings are canceled. I do feel safe taking my walks outdoors and enjoying nature. 

These are some more photos from our recent getaway to Ocean City, Maryland.  We were up early, like the birds to enjoy the sunrise.  

 The boardwalk at Ocean City Maryland.

 March's full moon called the  Worm Moon, rising on the morning of March 9th.

 Ocean City's ferris wheel.

 Below on the top row are the female and male Buffleheads ducks. On the bottom of the mosaic are the Common Loon on the bottom left and Red-throated Loons (longer necks) on the bottom right.

Me and my shadow at Ocean City's Inlet.  I am always thankful for a getaway with my hubby. 

I am always thankful for my local library's ebooks. The latest book I  read is  Harbour Street by  Ann Cleeves it is #6 in the Vera Stanhope series. I  discovered  the Vera series late, I have a few more to go.

I am thankful for good health, I wish the same for everyone! Stay safe, stay well and stay happy peeps! 


I am always thankful for your visit and comments.
Live simple and be happy!  😊 Spread happiness!

Cape Flattery & Neah Bay

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I have a some Washington State photos to share, these are from our visit to Neah Bay and Cape Flattery. Cape Flattery is the most northwestern spot you can visit in the United States and it is part of the Makah Reservation.


You will need to buy a special permit from the Makah  to hike on the trail to see the Cape Flattery Lighthouse.

A view of the Cape Flattery trail.

The beautiful Pacific Ocean, seen from one of the Cape Flattery overlooks.

A look toward toward the Makah Bay and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Some of the birds seen Western Grebes, various Gulls, Harlequin Ducks, Rhinoceros Auklets, Red-necked Grebe, Red-throated Loon, Cormorants and a Bald Eagle with a fish.

While we were in the area we ate lunch at a restaurant called the Warmhouse in Neah Bay. We had eaten here before back in 2015, they have great milkshakes.  We also enjoyed watching the Bald Eagles right outside the restaurant windows. On this day there had to be 20-30 bald Eagles both adults and juvies. They put on a show for us while ate our lunch.

Neah Bay Bald Eagles. I think one Juvenile Eagle had a fish which attracted all the other eagles. The juvie eagle  held tight onto his fish and was not going to share.

Back at our Ocean Resort and First Beach for the sunset.

"May every sunrise hold more promise and every sunset hold more peace."



My thankful list for today:
I am thankful for good health to hike on trail like the Cape Flattery Trail.
I am thankful for blue skies and lovely weather.


I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.  Thanks so much for visiting and for your nice comments. Have a happy day!
