I stopped by the lake on my way home from work yesterday for a little mental health break. Watching the activity of birds, turtles and other critters going about their business as they have for eons melts the work-a-day stress. All is well with the world. The bigger picture continues to unfold. My little problems are placed in their proper perspective; now for the weekend!
ENJOY!!
Glossy Ibis - Check out the colors in those feathers!
Sandhill crane checks her eggs before settling in for the night.
Whited winged dove. Male I think.

Beautiful! I love birds and ducks....and photography :)
How lovely to wake up to! Thank you!
Excellent pics. I’m the same way. When I need to escape and regain clarity on what’s important in life I get out and go to the country far away from the city and enjoy God’s great display of his power - nature; whether it’s a simply a backwoods trail, mountains, or a sandy shore. I don’t think the leftists ever get out to visit nature; at least the ones I’ve seen. They stayed holed up glued to their electronic devices. I doubt many have ever been out to the country and looked up at a star filled sky in awe. I think if more d id they’d get the sense that there are too many coincidences about the intelligent design of nature and might sense that there is a Creator and that maybe their “great” intellect is too small to consider that there may be an intelligence far above their own who intervenes in men’s affairs.
We don’t have that kind of beauty or diversity around our house, but I am always amazed at the bird’s tuneful presence when I take the dogs out in the early mornings. It is truly the bird’s world at that time of day...singing, chirping, communicating with each other.
Great pics! Immersion in nature is healing...
Nice pics. Thanks for posting.
Thanks!
Beautiful!
Thank you. :-)
Beautiful pics. I dabble in it sometimes.
Both my sons are big birders. One is doing it for a living.
BRAVO! Well stated.
Awesome! Remind me again where you’re located.
As a side note, I just purchased a trail cam and the first night I set it up in my backyard (Thurs.) I caught pictures of two skunks side by side, one possum, one rabbit and one cat.............LOL!
And I'm not out in the country, I'm in a subdivision in S.E. Michigan........
Earlier this week I saw about 10 crows “mobbing” a hawk.
I had seen this type of thing on You Tube but never actually witnessed it.
I parked and got out of my car to watch.
It was awesome.

We’ve got mockingbirds nesting in the tops of the parking lot lights at work. It’s not unusual to see a bunch of them gang up on a crow that gets too close and run him off.
Good for the mmockingbirds——I don’t thikn I’ve ever seen one.

Lots of mistakes in my last post-——time to logoff.

Beautiful!
