By Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 04/01/2020
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.

By Jordan Lake, Haw River: CLOSURES and Plan

UPDATE – All the gates at the dam are closed.  There is no entry to the tailrace.  The only open boat ramps are at Ebenezer, New Hope Overlook, Seaforth and Robeson Creek – and those are subject to close at any moment.  So, I am working on a plan to use my archives of previously unpublished photos and minute videos at Jordan Lake for a daily sharing with each of you.  Please stay tuned as by Monday I hope to have that plan in effect – you will see the heading “Jordan Lake Neighborhood” on those postings.  In the meantime, take this spark from the sunrise at the dam and know it holds the promise that we will get through this, together.  Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen

 

By Jordan Lake, Haw River Gathering, Sunrise Bald Eagle

 

I sat down to pick a photo for tonight’s post – I had several decent action shots to look through. But, the very first photo of this morning caused me to pause and ponder.  Of late this world has been full of chaos and fear and anxiety. Way down the Haw River this immature bald eagle perched.  Quietly.  Waiting.  A living, breathing, vibrant silhouette giving me, and I hope you, a chance to just be still for a moment or two.   Enjoy the peace and grace, Doc Ellen.
