Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Tuesday, November 17, 2020. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute this morning has a rainbow in it. A very unusual rainbow, in a very different place! I hope you enjoy the rainbow above the tail race yes I do. Take care, be safe. Stay very very very well!
Jordan Lake: First Nest report 11/12/2020
Kate, who is one big bald eagle, floated past me surveying the cove. She will be laying this season’s new eggs in about 6 weeks.
Petruchio was putting repair sticks into the nest, getting ready for the new breeding season.
Petruchio (look directly above the nest) is taking a break. It was great seeing the pair preparing for a new family!
Veterans Day, Wednesday, 11/11/2020
Jordan Lake: I am free in my pursuit to photograph our National Emblem because the Veterans we honor this Veteran’s Day gave us a gift we can just barely understand. These Veterans had the courage to accept the call to protect the Liberty enshrined in our Democracy – they accepted even though they might die for their faithfulness. My heartfelt thank you to those Veterans who are now memories and to those who still breathe the air they help protect. I hope this image of the American Bald Eagle can say what my words cannot speak: your selfless dedication soars on the Wings of an Eagle.

Pool Party! Honest, I was trying to work on my book, but then this pool party got started out front. So, yep, I stopped to watch the eastern bluebirds and the house finches at play. Hope you enjoy it!
