I was trying to capture the light, just so, on a Texas toadflax blossom.  The golden light was fading fast.  Then a shadow appeared and I forgot about the wildflower for a couple of moments.  The young eagle was just starting his second year of life and he was beautiful as the full brightness of a Carolina blue sky filled his sight and my morning.

Jordan Lake: I made this Natural Minute on March 26, 2020 but used a different little video to post that day. May this one bring a moment of quietness as we watch the northern mockingbird being busy. You can find other Natural Minutes archived at my blog at
Stop by and visit whenever you need a moment of Jordan Lake.

 I have given some thought as to how could I help each of us pass the time as we stay at home in order to deny the virus it’s chance to harm us. I hope to help in 2 ways.
1) I have placed copies of several month’s worth of my almost daily Natural Minute Jordan Lake videos from my Facebook page into a file on one of my web blogs. You can get to the blog at https://www.docellensphotography.com/ Then click on the Daily Blog on the left hand side, and once in the Blog, click on LogIn. No passwords are needed. You can return to visit the lake when the walls start to close in. The blog will also notify you any time I make a new entry.
2) I will be going back into my photo archives of the Jordan Lake and its Neighborhood and posting previously unpublished photos and sharing memories that I hope will bring a smile to each of you.
STAY HEALTHY! Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen
