The neighborhood

Hello,

Happy Fall Y'all!

These are some scenes from one of our walks to our lake. This trail takes us past our neighbor's place, they are raising turkeys to be sold for Thanksgiving.

You can see some of the temporary fencing they have to keep the turkeys from running off and escaping into the woods.

We walk down the fire road to the lake, the sky was looking beautiful.

The geese are not in focus but I mainly love the colors in the clouds and sky.

It was nice to see a colorful sky for once, this may have been close to when Hermine was passing by on the coast of Maryland.

I hope you enjoyed your visit and my post. I appreciate your nice comments. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!

Here is a list of linky parties for part of the week, I hope to see you there.

Around the yard

I am linking up with Skywatch Friday  and Good Fences
I hope you can join in on the fun and share your fence scenes and pretty skies.


To break up my trip photos I am sharing some photos from our local walk to the lake and some birds and scenes from my yard and neighborhood. These images were taken back in September. On this day we walked to the lake in front of our place and passed by my neighbor's turkeys. The turkeys are raised and sold, I assume for Thanksgiving dinners.

This is a view of the turkeys from the fireroad. And on this day there was a turkey on the wrong side of the fence.

A cute fence scene...I was thinking your free, your free!  Run turkey... run and hide.

It was a pretty day for our walk to the lake, lovely sky, pretty berries seen along the fireroad and a cute chickadee.

The lake, clouds reflecting and some shadows from the trees.

Beside the usual GB heron at the lake we have been seeing some Double-crested Cormorants.

Another fence scene, I always enjoy seeing my neighbors horses. The two little ones are growing fast.

Hubby's sunset shot at the lake, if you look closely you can see a sundog reflection on the lake.

The sunset from the yard, a pretty pink sky.

I hope you enjoyed my photos from around the yard and neighborhood.  Thanks for stopping by for a visit and for your nice comments. Have a happy day and weekend ahead.

Blue Moon

Aug 22, 2013


It's time for Skywatch and my birds for NF Winged, I hope to see everyone sharing their skies and birds. On August 20 there was a rare full moon. The full moon this August is known as the Blue Moon or the Full Sturgeon Moon. It is the third of four full moon in a season, most seasons only have 3 full moons. My shot was actually the full moon setting on the morning of August 21.

I just love zooming in on the moon, it is so beautiful.

The shadow in the bottom right is part of our pine tree. The moon was starting to set behind the tree.

Skywatching from our deck...watching the contrail.

Another one of hubby's sunset shots at our lake.

And now for the NF Winged part of my post I am sharing one of my juvenile Cardinals, Turkeys and a couple butteflies.

One of the neighbors is raising turkeys..you can reserve one for Thanksgiving Day dinner.
