Jordan Lake. There is solace to be found in the moonscape against the darkening sky. We all need solace now and then, a quietness, a gentleness being brought into our lives by a glimpse of the tranquil moon. Have a blessed evening, Doc Ellen
Jordan Lake. I didn’t really expect to get any useful shot of this bald eagle. I was standing on top of the Jordan Lake Dam … 15 minutes after sunrise. There was mist coming off the lake and the sunlight was making a glaring mirror of the water. I was very startled to find that the reflection almost gives you more of the bird than the actual eagle. The photo is not in focus but I have certainly been focused on how sometimes a photo happens just because it does.
Jordan Lake. Early this morning, North America‘s largest rodent swam calmly into view. The beaver picked up a stick far down the shoreline, slipped back into the water with it and swam away.
Jordan Lake. They have arrived … early! These are pied-billed grebes. I usually don’t see them until mid November. They are migrants who come down and spend the winter with us before they return north to their breeding waters. I think they’re darn cute.
Jordan Lake. It was a full moon yesterday and almost still full this morning. BTW the little bird that dashed on and off the screen right at the beginning was a chimney swift. Take the gentleness of the moon with you throughout the day today. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
Jordan Lake: I found myself very much in need of some peace and tranquility this evening. I went back to this morning’s cruise with Captain Doug and brought up this great egret and then let the 12-year-old child within me have a hand in making this note and reminder that peace, contentment and tranquility are needed throughout this whole world. Have a blessed evening.
