By Asleep

Like Grayced the Cat may you find yourself asleep this night, safe against softness curved deep where dreams are calm and warm. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen

By Bald Eagle Chicks!

HP Bald Eagle Nest, Jordan Lake, is always way ahead of other nests at the lake in producing chicks. Mom eagle is checking out her two chicks who are about 5-6 weeks old. You can see both chicks in the 2nd photo, above the red arrows.

By If Only

Oh, if only I had a way to share Grayced the Cat’s contentment into each and every heart that is beating – whether in the chests of critters or dare I say humans too. “If only” starts here with my words as I say good morning to you and gently ask that you spread the contentment to the next heart you meet.

By Not Again Until 2492

A VERY rare astronomical event is ongoing: 01/25/2025, 6 planets were aligned (Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Saturn, Neptune) on 02/28/2025, a seventh planet, Mercury will join. This will not happen again until 2492! Using my iPhone (I don’t have wide field lens for my Canon)
1) Venus is centered and Saturn lower left 2) is a very bright Venus and stars 3) out west window Jupiter is right of trunk & Betelgeuse of triple spoken infamy upper left. AFTER SUNSET GO OUT! LOOK WEST!!!!!

By Point of View

For such a large bird, bald eagles can sure tuck themselves into what appears to be a small space within a snarl of branches. However, the point of view is misleading. Bald eagle nests have a “front door” and at least one “side door”. As monitors it would be intrusive on this nest for us to approach from any other direction. We quietly monitor this mom eagle incubating her eggs through this crowded window.

By Sun Rise

The temperature this morning was 25°F. Wind was calm. There were people stationed all around Jordan lake this morning for the quarterly bald eagle count. Just after the count began this morning the sun began to unfurl its textures and mantle the skies in shimmering glory.
Will be posting eagle count totals at a later date.
