Jordan Lake. This morning it is a moment with a great blue heron and the only sound is that of the lake. Enjoy the peace and tranquility. Take care, be safe. Stay well.

TagLooking Toward Tomorrow
Jordan Lake. Body stilled. Talons glinting. Neck stretched just enough to see past surrounding branches. Eyes pinned on point of interest too far away for me to comprehend. This bald eagle fledgling lives to claim tomorrow as hers.
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 09/22/2022
Jordan Lake. First day of Autumn. The lake is reflecting the changing of the trees. I found myself reflecting upon what did this world need to become contented. How do we repair relationships of all sorts. May you begin this new season with contentment in your own heart.
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 09/20/2022
Jordan Lake. A pair of great blue herons are trying to decide just who owns this section of shoreline. To win the game you have to stretch up taller than the other heron. A very stately dance for making a decision about fishing privileges.
Inquisitive American Crow
Jordan Lake. As autumn nears, the American crows tend to gather in rather large noisy flocks. This individual, however, seemed to be intent upon studying just who was sitting there on the shoreline studying him. So before the crow could decide his curiosity was satisfied and fly off, I photographed his inquisitive portrait.
Big Haul!
Jordan Lake. This fledgling osprey has only been flying about eight weeks. She managed to catch and carry a striped bass that is as long as she is. She never got more than about 2 feet above water. After resting on the log for three minutes she managed to lift the fish one more time and disappeared around the tree line from my sight.
