Daily Pics #108.

The very bright and beautiful oriental poppy.

Good morning on this bright Friday!  It looks like we might be passed the real cold weather now and starting some warmer weather today.  I certainly hope it does stay with us this time anyway.  And soon the remaining snow will be gone from my path to the river.  Then we will see if I can actually make it down to the river again.  My walking ability is certainly not what it was last year, but hopefully with a little time I will be back to my regular walking along that path.  I’m also hoping the bears will not be active over there this spring.  That is really not a fun thought.  I heard that a barred owl has been sighted over there however.  That would really be nice to get a pic of an owl.  Barred owls are one of our biggest owls, the other two being great horned owl and great gray owl.  And we sometimes get snowy owls in winter, but they are very unpredictable in there visits.  If it wasn’t for the bears, I would go over there at night and call the owls.  However, not with bears in the neighborhood.  Not me.

And now for some bright summer scenery to enjoy…

A nice quiet bay on a sunny summer afternoon.  This is such a nice spot to sit and relax and do some writing.IMG_5177

The river on a sunny July afternoon when the water was still low.  This is another spot that was nice to sit, relax and just enjoy the view.

Nothing quite like some nice summer scenery to make this locked up time feel a lot better.  Thanks for coming by today, have a fantastic Friday, stay safe and God bless!
