For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone! It is another sunny day here and quite mild for early morning, though it really isn’t too early today. I’m way behind in my post today, sometimes things happen. Yesterday was a beautiful day, a great day for a walk to the river and get a few more pics. Though the birds were not cooperating too well yesterday. The ducks decided the opposite shore of the river was the best place to find food I guess, so that’s where they stayed. And while I’m busy focusing on one thing, a beautiful bald eagle came diving down and caught itself a nice fish, about 2 feet (about 60cm) in length and hauled it off to a tree on the opposite side of the river. Happened too fast for me to get a picture of it. With all the eagles we have around here, and there are a lot, I still haven’t managed to get a picture of one. So sad. But one of these days it will happen, I hope. Things are starting to grow once again, as evidenced by the daylily in the above pic. And the sun and warmth return after long periods of cloud and snow. But sometimes patience is needed.
And now for some more spring pics to share with you…
In the above pic is a beautiful white-throated sparrow, one of our largest, under my bird feeder picking up seeds that have been dropped on the ground by birds at the feeder. This is an early morning pic.
In the above pic is “Scramble”, one of many squirrels along the path to the river. This one is getting braver all the time and hopefully I will be able to get him to come right to me in time.
There is our pics for today, please stay safe everyone, have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Yes, I hope I can get a pic of an eagle soon,📷🦅 just sitting nicely in a tree would be great.🌲 It is a nice sunny and warm day, so it will be good for a walk to the river a little later.🌞🚶♂️🌲 It is kind of windy though and tonight it starts to get cold again for the next 7 days.😳🙀 Then we should be back to near normal temps again. Today should be 10C.🙃🌞 Enjoy your evening Simon!😁😸🌙

It isn’t easy to get close to squirrels, they are a nervous type animal.
