Washington Park, Anacortes

Hello and Happy Thursday!

I am sharing some more Washington State photos. We stayed a few nights May 2nd thru May 5th in Anacortes Washington.

A few Great Blue Herons, they must have found a good fishing spot.

I read that Washington Park in Anacortes was a great place to watch sunsets.  A little cloudy but it still was a pretty sunset on this evening.

For my list of thankful things this week:
I am always thankful to see a sunset.
I am thankful for all the birds and critters, I hope they and other wildlife remain safe and healthy in our world.



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

Cordorus Reservoir Pennsylvania

Hello,

Hubby and I decided to visit Cordorus Reservoir, after visiting our son who lives nearby.  We are still watching Nibbles, our son's cruise ship returns to Florida Tomorrow. Please say a prayer for all in Florida and the path of Hurricane Matthew!


We noticed the water level was way down. The mud flats at the reservoir are a great place to see birds like the herons, egrets and migrating shorebirds. Birds seen at the reservoir, the Killdeer, Great Blue heron, Green Heron, Great Egret, Mallards and Wood Ducks.

We pass this farm on the way to the Cordorus Reservoir. A nice fence scene for Tex's Good Fences meme.

Walk this way, a Great Blue Heron

Another farm on the way home. Lots of fences below.

The same evening this was our sunset from the deck.

The colors changed to a more pinkish colored sunset.

I hope you enjoyed  my birds and scenery from Cordorus, it is also a State Park in Hanover Pennsylvia. Thank you for your visit and comments on my post. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!

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!

Walking the trail

Hello

Wow, do you believe it is September? I wish I could slow time down, summer has flown by. I am sharing another one of our walks on the NCR trail and a few sky shots from home.

While walking on the bike trail I am always on the look out for birds. I am not sure but this bird below looks like a cowbird?

The NCR trail at Bentley Springs, some wildflowers along the trail and the Bee Tree Creek.

Our shadow shot includes a fence shadow, A Monarch, bunny and a Tufted Titmouse.

On the drive home from the trail we pass by this farm, they have the cutest donkeys. I captured one barn for Tom's Barn Collective.

I love these donkeys, they are so cute!

I enjoy spending my time skywatching! Our sunsets have not been the greatest, the skies have been clear. I managed to find some colors in the sky on this day.

The moon setting on Aug 25th.

 As always 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. I have a few fence and my deck railing for Tex's Party and some pretty sky shots.

I hope you can join in on the fun and share your fence scenes and pretty skies.

Wow, another week has just flown by.  I am sharing some various scenes and photos from our outings during the month of March. I hope you enjoy.

For Nancy's Random 5 Friday.

1. I am so happy to see the spring migration happening. I am glad winter is finally officially over (or is it)?

My skywatch is full of Canada Geese in flight. Spring migration is happening and the weather is not stopping it.

2. I am not the best birder, I second guess some of my id's and  there are times I can be totally wrong. I do try. I am not 100% positive but I believe this is the Red-tailed Hawk above. I think they have a nest nearby, they are always around our yard. :(  Edit: the correct id for my hawk, it is the Red-shouldered Hawk.

3. I love to birdwatch, I can watch the birds in my backyard or during a daytrip or while on a vacation. The birds are always included in my plans.  Mrs Cardinal at the birdbath... for Tex's Good Fence meme...you see the blurry fence behind the deck railing.


For Friday's Hunt.  Thanks to Teresa for hosting Friday's Hunt.
1. Starts with O
2. Week's favorite
3.  Spring or Fall

Skywatch & favorite...a pretty sky shot. I love all the different cloud shapes.

Canada Geese seen during our walk at George's Creek.

A peek at the horses and fence from our walk on the trail. You have to click on the image to see all the different fencing.

4.  I enjoy the simple pleasures of watching the sky near sunset.

5. Taking photos of the moon is addicting to me and this moon shot is also another favorite...My moon shot from March 15th. I hope you enjoyed your visit and my post. Thank so much for stopping by and for the nice comments.
