Your presence has been missed and yet, I know how much you love visiting your precious family back home in Canada. I needed to make a correction as I may not have worded it accordingly. Paducah os a large city near the river and the little town of Hickman is the town that is becoming a ghost town. My husby used t have clients there and it was a small town, yet vital to the area being on the river. Sad but true, slipping away a few feet at a time~ HUGS!!!Mary Howell Cromerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473298562829352582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-9606690119490263122015-07-08T02:46:24.379-07:002015-07-08T02:46:24.379-07:00Awe, so happy that you got to meet a Red-Shouldere...Awe, so happy that you got to meet a Red-Shouldered Hawk.

I do have to make one correction though, it is the tiny town of Hickman near Paducah that is collapsing into the river and it s really a haunting place now.

I'm amazed that those tall trees are still standing amid all that water, but they look 'accepting' of the situation. After all, it is natural, I guess. The red headed woodpecker is such a siren of colour among all that lush greenery, isn't it? And the bobwhite is truly beautiful; how sweet it looks. You have composed a stunning collage of lilies and horses for your friend, and no doubt, she is enjoying her favourite things. The pink lilies are so pretty!<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful week, my friend.<br /><br />xo<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-33317986143924258962015-07-06T12:07:50.636-07:002015-07-06T12:07:50.636-07:00Beautiful photos Mary, I like the misty shots you ...Beautiful photos Mary, I like the misty shots you captured.

She had been injured The Talon Trust is a raptor rescue and release in Evansville, IN. She is a beautiful hawk, but because her wing did not heal properly she could not be released. They have had her for 8 years. We also got to see Skylar who is an American Kestrel, the smallest Falcon in North America. What beautiful birds these are. I can understand the enthusiasm they exhibit when they share their stories about these birds.
