An early-morning bloomer (besides me!)
Not quite as refreshing as the morning dew, but close.
Unoccupied at this hour...
Standing on a bridge, a swiftly-flowing river ran beneath me.
A chatter of birds caught my attention so I walked along the river to see 'who' was around.
This cheery cardinal greets the morning sun.
A treetop chorus.
Hello, River Rat! (that's muskrat, to you!)
Good morning, ducks!!
Rise and shine, and S-T-R-E-T-C-H those wings!
Returning home, I found this turkey vulture and red-tailed hawk sailing along, side-by-side under the bright blue sky, directly above my head. They accompanied me most of the day today, as I worked in the yard tying corn stalks and gatheing nuts (which were falling steadily and dangerously hard and fast!) Every time I looked up, which was quite often, there they were ~ sometimes 7 or 8 more vultures joined them!
It felt good spending so much time outdoors today, after all those rainy days we've had.
It was fun walking with you.... I am always surprised with how beautiful a mallard since they are so common (kinda like the cardinal).... loved the muskrat, have only seen one in my lifetime (so far!)
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, I feel like I've taken this walk myself!
