Walking along the path,
the woods light up changing color,
as if they are on fire.
Glancing over my shoulder,
 the beauty at the end of this day,
is heart-stopping.
Another beautiful day spent enjoying the beauty of nature!

~Osprey Pair
Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Hobe Sound, Florida
After many days of rain and overcast skies, it felt wonderful to experience the sun on our faces this morning. On our walk, we came upon this Osprey pair.
The male was flying around, letting us know he wasn’t happy with us intruding in his domain, one outcry we have never heard before. His cry was LOUD and truly shocking. After several passes over our heads, he finally landed near his mate.
The female, when we first neared their tree was sitting out on a branch, she then decided to fly into the nest.
Both kept an eye on us the whole time while I was taking photos.
We didn’t stay on the hiking path near the nest long. It was warming up quickly and the doggies were ready to turn around. Plus we didn’t want to upset this beautiful pair.

~Weekly Photo Challenge: Intricate
The  Daily Post – Photo Challenge – Week of May 2, 2015 – “Intricate“.
Hubby and I like to hike and on occasion we come across a Golden Orb Spider. They create a huge and intricate web.
The following photos are Milkweed Seeds. I took these photos while visiting a local park where I live. I think they have an interesting and intricate form.
The featured image is a photo I took at another local park located off Highway 34 as you would travel west from Loveland to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. It is early morning rain drops on a spider’s web. The header photo are two Lady Bugs doing what they do to create more Lady Bugs! Photo taken in my yard.
I hope you enjoy my Intricate photos.

~A New Bird Book & a New Bird~
I have been looking for the book The Sibley Guide to Birds Second Edition for awhile now. Today, I finally found and purchased this lovely birding guide. I was specifically searching for the re-printed second edition.
I am very happy to add this book to my birding library. Howard kiddingly asks me, “How many bird books do you need?” I reply, “One can’t have too many!”
On February 27, 2015 I saw and photographed the little song bird in these photos. It was flitting around hunting for bugs and didn’t stay still long. At first I just assumed it was a Solitary Vireo, which I first saw in Colorado in 1986.
Tonight, while looking through my new bird book, I discovered that the Solitary Vireo as been divided into three separate species:
(1) Plumbeous
(2) Cassin’s
(3) Blue-headed
This Blue-headed Vireo has been added to my Birding Life List at number 385.
Until next time…
Sing your heart out!
