They have a beautiful voice and I have two friends that even have a baby monitor. One of the stations is set up inside and the other outside so that they can listen for when the cranes fly over. I have seen thousands of these birds flying in huge groups over me and then all converging in the corn fields like large rocks scattered everywhere. Their height and wingspan and those red hearts on the top of their heads are gorgeous and cannot be missed easily!

I did rehab and release under a blanket permit called Kentucky Wildlife Line.</span> <span> I had not done any rehab for them for several years when I received a message that a single gray squirrel had been found and needed help. She was brought to me from a small town about a half an hours drive away. She being a single was new to me as I always had more than one to raise together. I made calls to others that could maybe help out and was told that since my permit had expired that someone could come and take her and also fine me. I was also given the opportunity to take her in to a Vet's office and they would either turn her out, or put her down. I immediately called my person with Kentucky Wildlife Line and was immediately reinstated with permission to raise and release her. Bumper was only about five weeks old and needed to be on formula for another ten weeks, along with the introduction of other foods like veggies, grains and a few fruits. She thrived! It is difficult releasing a single because when they are very young, they learn from each other. I kept her in a large cage in the heated garage all Winter and continued to feed her formula and gave her new foods daily. I tried to get wild things as often as I could find them, especially mushrooms. Once Bumper was old enough to be transferred to her final cage, a soft release cage set up, I would no longer touch her. That was so hard because she loved her cuddles and it slowed down and then came to a complete stop five weeks prior to her release date of March 2oth. Her release was amazing! She had learned to bark, to flag her tail, to listen to the alarm calls of adult squirrels, and also paid attention when something large passed over her...well all but once.

It was orphaned and I had to get my blanket permit renewed to rehab and release so that I could care for her. The lady that brought her to me had named her Bumper. Most Grey Squirrels breed in June and January but this baby was so small, it was a late litter and if I was going to care for her, she would have to spend the Winter with me. In my years of rehabbing and releasing them...I had 63 Greys and 6 Red Fox squirrels in 8 years...none were ever single babies. I feel really sorry for her, but I couldn't find any more orphaned babies to place with her. She will stay here until the canopy of Spring green begins to form in about 2 months and then I will work on a good release for her~</span></span></i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i><span style="color: #050505;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></i></span></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TCzRuC3B0qdLdl9asqUOAj2hbYDWs1YWLCF47hFL73MkKPBh4ZjGmYBt5hOFrp1UPtz0aXaNiyJhSxO9y3XyfeBh9bYLMBT1-MS-gmVoNTWsPIEGHGHhWYHODKxfYGFVk8pxiQAXPWGZnp8j_itpkYG6rZsAdbvj09y9FqvqFyzsC7rCZ0I0WG7X/s2048/312908186_10226021863886194_7103303466587933061_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1314" data-original-width="2048" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TCzRuC3B0qdLdl9asqUOAj2hbYDWs1YWLCF47hFL73MkKPBh4ZjGmYBt5hOFrp1UPtz0aXaNiyJhSxO9y3XyfeBh9bYLMBT1-MS-gmVoNTWsPIEGHGHhWYHODKxfYGFVk8pxiQAXPWGZnp8j_itpkYG6rZsAdbvj09y9FqvqFyzsC7rCZ0I0WG7X/w640-h410/312908186_10226021863886194_7103303466587933061_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>What an extraordinary find last November by a woman who took notice of something very different and made sure that others would know about it.

I placed aluminum pending around the nest tree as I have tried to do since 1994. This helps keeps Raccoons out of the nest, however there is still Great horned owls that can take the young. The birds chose a beautiful Sycamore tree in the back yard of a lovely couple that lives down the lane. I did this task on March 27, nearly 3 weeks after brooding had begun. Evidently the eggs failed, or the young didn't make it with the very cold wet weather we had during that time. They must have had copulation sessions that I was not aware of, because they have been on that nest every since the first week in March. About 10 days ago I began to see some white stuff on the rim of the nest. That is for sure young ones using the bathroom and I am so happy. I am so thankful too that the young couple that live there have been so kind and understanding. The nest is right off of the back deck and any thought of a big family cookout would have been immediate problems either from the birds, or for the birds. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

For three Winters I went to a special lane 4 miles from home in search of these owls. I never saw, or heard one until December 3, 2021. They migrate down from Canada and stay the Winter here. It was dark and I was getting ready to get into my car to head home when a couple of birds began to fly over me and they were making the neatest voice sounds. I thought they were Harriers and took 118 pictures in very quick succession. I got home and sat down to review everything done that evening. Oh My Word! It was 118 pictures of Short-eared owls! I went back nearly every day for 3 and a half months to watch them lift off of the ground where they would sleep all day.

I must say that in the beginning I had no clue how to upload images, place them, or even write up summaries. As I went along and made friends from around the globe, and with that I learned new techniques, learned about ways to improve my entries. Learning about what a meme was and how to utilize them was a huge success for me. In all 12.2k (12,414 to be exact ;) comments have been monitored and published. There was a time when thousands of those comments went missing and oh what lessons were learned about what can happen from behind the scenes and I knew that I did not want to be on the bad end of that scenario. My following is at 241 regulars as well as my Facebook followers who tap in using my Photography by Mary Howell Cromer page which connects right to my blog.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>For this very special presentation I am going to post 112 images/mosaic mix.

Let me say first that when there is a happy pair of Bald Eagles, they are very talkative to one another. They chatter often throughout the day. I wish I knew how to read their language and yet on this day I knew that absolutely something was off. The adult perched in the tree stared at the eaglets for a very long time and never took its eyes off of them. It never turned away, nor made any noise, but just watched them. About 10 to 15 minutes had passed when the large female eagle flew in and she was chattering and aggressive! She flew over and around the nest tree several times, getting louder with every pass! All of a sudden she made a fierce flight towards the nest tree and chased the eagle that was perched away. The one that had been there only made noise once as it flew off the branch and then made a turn and flew up into a tree near where I was and watched the nest for a very long time. This in my estimation had to have been something that could have turned out very bad, but I was so thankful when the uninvited guest had left~</i></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She found herself in a spot of trouble though and a great concern for those who care about her. I joined my friends to try and locate her for 5 hours on the evening she had flown for the first time. She ended up in a front yard of the adjoining neighborhood where a Bull Mastiff dog was seen running at her. No one knew if she had been injured, but she was not flying. The neighbors said that she was only able to hop and run and so we were very concerned for her safety. We had to leave unable to locate her. The next morning for 4 more hours we searched, still unable to find her. It was such a terrible feeling, having come so far, and now very concerned for her safety. We had just about given up when a gentleman named Marty drove by on his motorcycle and wanted to make one more pass in trying to spot her. He came back to where we were waiting and motioned for us to follow him. He thought that he had seen her. When we got to the spot he had seen a large brown bird, she was not there, but not to fret. Marty walked to the top of the hill and as one of the adults flew over the basin of water twice, he spotted the missing eaglet in the marsh grasses. She ran, jumped and lifted off, landing on a nearby fence. Tears of joy streamed down my face and Marty wiped a few away as well. My friend Beth and I got the first fully fledged images of the eaglet. It was a glorious day. I learned a hard lesson many times over when I had a federal permit to rehab and release Birds of Prey as well as my years with same for Kentucky Wildlife Line, working with small mammals...you cannot take them from the cradle to the grave. You watch and let them soar, walk, and run as they were meant to do and hope always for the best~</i></span> </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjchmQJ76MS-uRkcCyPifcRZAj9XfOfpbG7J7NI7D3cpNWRO-ckmET7AOEwQP1ojsL_zfFH_VJvcrYbM18K55WPN3A6HrseC-FpBqpNwi1D1bdrwXdJcR5ZzyfXyAtKktEZnzJ_YijLCw/s2048/Blog+Entry++12+years-026.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjchmQJ76MS-uRkcCyPifcRZAj9XfOfpbG7J7NI7D3cpNWRO-ckmET7AOEwQP1ojsL_zfFH_VJvcrYbM18K55WPN3A6HrseC-FpBqpNwi1D1bdrwXdJcR5ZzyfXyAtKktEZnzJ_YijLCw/w640-h360/Blog+Entry++12+years-026.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7aOcnFJFnvoKrUtGCS75ss-9rN_5YM57vffQYaEBKGQxwhXf_NeX44VGIngHfsgcp4TuOLpl8X8H5OUWRAbpmBGmNBOFyu0mJXBfwl5tgaZ9X2wEpGlV_el8Ba4ABMorDw32i-We6FXI/s2048/Blog+Entry++12+years-027.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7aOcnFJFnvoKrUtGCS75ss-9rN_5YM57vffQYaEBKGQxwhXf_NeX44VGIngHfsgcp4TuOLpl8X8H5OUWRAbpmBGmNBOFyu0mJXBfwl5tgaZ9X2wEpGlV_el8Ba4ABMorDw32i-We6FXI/w640-h360/Blog+Entry++12+years-027.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQhhdYpe0eRrHeDXlgmmMg5jXJNKA2qqI_Y7smG9_WVF8KBiPFnp57rEnNndj0l8V6_AmpJ8tjcbHmTm96xqiFSF1J_-0aOJ4XXCNb5pOJn7mUMig5vFoGoMsFxjHj5bvjuhNurykb8w/s2048/Blog+Entry++12+years-029.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQhhdYpe0eRrHeDXlgmmMg5jXJNKA2qqI_Y7smG9_WVF8KBiPFnp57rEnNndj0l8V6_AmpJ8tjcbHmTm96xqiFSF1J_-0aOJ4XXCNb5pOJn7mUMig5vFoGoMsFxjHj5bvjuhNurykb8w/w640-h640/Blog+Entry++12+years-029.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgal2L1tM0LScz47zBjn26xl4e05RAfRUVJ4ngMzKhpptcJmTwayytVhKiiXuZGIg5_0OcOw9ZJA18zLylYT96TCNh5aYUvnt3O1nbnM5GdARbzvLAmqW5n_zod4-a6F990zCNFkKjKM5Y/s2048/DSC_6240.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1456" data-original-width="2048" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgal2L1tM0LScz47zBjn26xl4e05RAfRUVJ4ngMzKhpptcJmTwayytVhKiiXuZGIg5_0OcOw9ZJA18zLylYT96TCNh5aYUvnt3O1nbnM5GdARbzvLAmqW5n_zod4-a6F990zCNFkKjKM5Y/w640-h456/DSC_6240.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>She was so close, I almost missed the only flight shots taken of her on June 17~</i></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzBMbwjW6SlypKlAHI5HMc4ggmj1mL2sXUUsVzHZ72nuyyZ4J-J1FsxIH3anaM_DwkWZAQx_fJTbXBummHSBWXnWnNjsagvaolEhGwr14cNIXaf-Cd9S0OaBzrzsMVMJ3E6_f3Rl9wYQ/s2048/DSC_6324.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1309" data-original-width="2048" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzBMbwjW6SlypKlAHI5HMc4ggmj1mL2sXUUsVzHZ72nuyyZ4J-J1FsxIH3anaM_DwkWZAQx_fJTbXBummHSBWXnWnNjsagvaolEhGwr14cNIXaf-Cd9S0OaBzrzsMVMJ3E6_f3Rl9wYQ/w640-h410/DSC_6324.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghUpw2MLzY0eHAXfRAMypj2jLLFv7mFKRAJi3qCY3xhtTiCW87e0DyQ-vpRZYPgmNbJXrZVVco3se6lyIcITGfGD70rvrwyuRmxZaVGCxVRhHfpNsfvEcEXdbH2uDGNsHiIKYcePVAXtI/s2048/DSC_6325.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1450" data-original-width="2048" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghUpw2MLzY0eHAXfRAMypj2jLLFv7mFKRAJi3qCY3xhtTiCW87e0DyQ-vpRZYPgmNbJXrZVVco3se6lyIcITGfGD70rvrwyuRmxZaVGCxVRhHfpNsfvEcEXdbH2uDGNsHiIKYcePVAXtI/w640-h454/DSC_6325.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>These images were taken of the two birds following the male also fledging from nest by June 18, or 19 and both birds were doing well!

About one day a week, I try to take a country ride, or check on the Bald Eagles who are currently doing finishing touches on a very large, well built nest. More on that as things proceed in a future entry. Our groceries are ordered online at the market and either delivered to the house, or I pick them up. I have not been able to attend church service since late last year. There are no in house visits here, or at the neighbors. What I miss the most are visits with our grandchildren and being able to take them on outings. Hugging our daughters, their husbands, our five grandchildren is something that is so cherished and now missing for way too long. We have seen them, but only a few times and we are always protected with a mask, and give great air hugs. Both Thanksgiving and Christmas day, our oldest daughter and her family quarantined for 13 days so that they could come out and come in to visit a couple of hours. That was extremely special and very much appreciated. </i> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: georgia;

She turned in a few images and determined it to be a rare visitor to Kentucky... A Western Grebe. What a gorgeous bird visiting only 17 miles from our home. I was very fortunate to get to the Ohio River at dawn one morning after Maria had shared about this bird and I had only stood to look out over the water for a minute when it appeared. It seemed close, but my lens was not long enough to get great images. I was so happy to see this gorgeous bird though that is very far away from it's flock who should be on the Western Coastline. They fly at night time and are seldom seen flying during daylight. Look them up, if you are not familiar with them.

The Mandarin Duck doesn't even appear in the "Field Guide to Birds of North America" because they are not from here. From East Asia, Russia and Japan...Kentucky is very far from it's homeland. Once again a couple of my birding friends had seen the bird after reading about it online, also in a news print article, and local news in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ten of them had been purchased by the township and released in parks in the area. It was truly an awesome bird to see and so close too.

This has been such a long time of so missing my blog, visiting you all and seeing what you have been up to during this horrific Pandemic. My thoughts have been for many of you that I know well and hoped that you and yours have remained healthy. After my sister passed away in June, I just kind of made a self protect for myself, which I still continue to do and will until this is past us. Seriously, we are in a real crisis in this country and it's very frightening, and I am personally at high risk, due to breathing issues and doing my very best to stay well. My husby has only left our driveway since January ending around 10 times and I have to run the errands. It's mostly my doing pickup groceries at the market. I've tried to get out and walk a bit also. The worst thing for me has been having to wait in any line at the Post Office, or UPS. For some reason that triggers a bit of frustration for me, but I am doing better with it. Covid19 has reached the neighbors behind us as well as down the lane from us, but so far we have been blessed. I pray each of you and your families have been okay as well.</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>It was quite a shock to come here to post and see everything has changed again. I talked via Facebook to one of our mutual blogger friends about me not being able to figure out how to now delete an image from my post. There used to be a right click on photo and it would give options such as remove. I don't have that any longer. This is my 5th attempt at completing this post...huge sigh!

The evening of June 8, 2020 at 9:07 along with her daughter Tina and son Roy and myself at her side, Haze passed peacefully from this life into life eternal with Jesus Christ. My heart is broken, and yet my hope is in my faith, that we will be together again.</i></span></span></div>

This has been such a dry year for me, as I took care of my sister during this time 3 to 4 days a week and then Rona happened to make things even more interesting to say the least. About that...I hope that each of you are doing well, and also your families and friends. Stay safe, use a mask...they are not as bad as you first may think and wash your hands often.</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Do you believe in such things as certain birds showing up when a loved ones leave your side to journey to heaven? I know so many that think of American Cardinals as the main birds that show up more often than others. along with Bluebirds. That being said when my sister's youngest daughter passed away a few years ago the very first bird that I saw after I left the hospital was a Red-tailed hawk and I thought well, that is something different. I was not set on it though. Not</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"> until I saw two more on my way home from where she had passed over from. A year ago when I first brought my sister for her first round of DR appointments at the Cancer Center I had my back to the large window in DR office and she was sitting to my left and the DR across from me. All of a sudden Haze got very happy as she saw a beautiful large bird outside the window of the 5th floor office. She quickly said something about too bad that I didn't have my camera with me. A lovely Red-tailed Hawk was flying in low flyovers as we watched in awe. I told Haze, ought oh, Tammy knows you are here...she will watch over you and then we never have seen the bird since. Yesterday after receiving the word that Haze would be passing within a few hours, I walked to the very large window in her room and stood and looked when I noticed a Red-tailed Hawk hunting the parking lot from one of the higher levels. Not once, but three times it flew past her window and up on the garage to hunt for meals down below. Probably nothing, but my sister would have gotten a kick out of it and would probably have teased me about snapping too many pictures. She liked to take pictures of my pictures using her little camera for the job. Sometimes she would use them as subjects in her folk art paintings~ <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" style="line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="heart emoticon"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t6c/1/16/2764.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /></span></span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The pair that attended the nest didn't seem quite right as in I was never sure if they were the original pair that had worked this territory for so long, even before I came on scene. The male partner would take off for long periods when brooding was going on. The KY Fish and Wildlife had said there were two eggs when they had flown over the nest and so we watched and waited. When the male would be gone for a long time, the female would also leave the nest for nearly an hour and then come back ahead of him and then he would finally arrive. This went on the entire brooding time. Once the weekend had finally arrived for first hatch...it appeared that it had gone right...much looking down in nest, much caring of whatever was down in that well. Two days later a second should have hatched. Everything looked good until early afternoon when a 3 year old Bald Eagle arrived on the scene. The pair took chase after it and a few feathers flew, with no apparent injuries. A little while later the young bird flew around and approached the nest once again, this time with no chase from the nearby pair and this time it took care of whatever had either hatched in nest, or egg and newly hatched eaglet. It was truly a terrible ending. YET there is more to the story a little further down in this post~</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Okay back to the Bald Eagle story from above. This is the female that I had been observing for going on 6 years now. I took this picture a year ago June 3. It was the last time that I know for sure I saw her. So then comes months later and the new nest is being started by the pair in September and I know then that it had to have still been the pair from years past, because there had been no issues by anyone that anything was different. One day after the disaster at nest I was talking with the landowner and he told me that on February 15 of this year he had found two injured eagles at the base of the nest tree...say what!? Both were females, one with a brooding patch. The one with the brooding patch...could that be the same one I had observed all of those years? What happened to the male? Where did the other female come from!? I contacted the Raptor Rehab of Kentucky organization and found out more about the injuries and upcoming release for the larger female that had the patch. They would be releasing her right where she had been found injured, even though there was a working pair that continued to build on the nest. She was released in May and after flying up into her favorite tree from before her injuries, I felt confidant that this was the original female. How has she fared, what will become of her, the other pair has not been seen for a while. A man that lives on the Indiana side of the river saw two days after her release a single very large eagle go after a catch that an Osprey had just made. Maybe that was her feeling her oats ;) I only hope that next season will do better all the way around for the eagles I enjoy watching along with so many others~ </i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Hi Everyone...what a very difficult time it is around the globe. Wherever you are, whatever your lifestyle, I am certain that you have had a very rude awakening, just as we have here. It is my hope and prayer that each of us will stay safe, strong and well. For those in the USA, as has well been documented now, our leader did not take the threat seriously for weeks and now that he has, we are behind on very important moving parts that would have saved lives and made a strong enough statement that people would take this whole thing as dire as it is, as dire as it shall become. </span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Huge wake up call for me personally was going to the market. I have always used the Purell wipes that are offered at the entrances of many markets. If they didn't have them at one entrance, I would go to the other entrance. None there I would go to customer service and ask them to please refill containers. Now that this Pandemic has arrived, I am like a wild woman ;) I carry my own sanitizing wipes and gel in the car and I will clean everything off, because at my age, and my already compromised lungs, I am at risk! After getting in the store then became trying to find the things not that I no longer wanted , but the items that I need. Those were suddenly the same items that everyone ahead of me needed too, because there was none. We are finding that we can do without those needs and try and substitute things in their place. Family, friends and neighbors have helped as they can themselves and we will all get through this sharing our love in ways that we always knew we had, but with much more care, and even more love now. </span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">It appears that after great anticipation following a very sad ending to the single eaglet falling from nest last April ending to the hope of this season having a grand celebration with new life, this season is tragically over. In these pictures taken last Friday at sunrise, things looked hopeful. It was day 35 for incubation and both birds were at nest. What happened after those pictures were taken is being pieces together and a summary compiled by myself and others who have been on </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">the scene for the entire season to turn into my contact person who oversees all Bald Eagle nest sites for the state of Kentucky. We may never know exactly the moment things went bad enough that lead to both birds being gone at same time on Sunday afternoon. </span></span></i><i style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">We do have video footage made by a dear man by the name of Howard Greer that we call the "General" for our Prospect Bald Eagles Squad...all made up for the fun of it. If you would be interested in seeing that video, I can send you the link. It shows a</i><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"> 3 year old female juvenile fly in and then onto nest rim, she hopped into nest and stayed over 20 minutes, more than likely eating what was there. Friday morning, March 20th all appeared well, and just like what we human kind are going through, things can change in a heartbeat. </span></span></i></div>

I cannot believe she is still with us...she is so very frail. Due to the threat we are now under, I am no longer visiting inside her home, but instead visiting her through her front door. Words just do not describe the pain in our hearts with this. Please continue to lift us up and I shall do the same for all of you~</span></span></i></div>

She is a beautiful one year old Rufous Hummingbird who arrived in Oldham County on, or around October 19th. Fortunately for her, she landed in a yard where a lovely landowner and her daughter have been preparing warm nectar for her all through the Winter months. More than likely she was born in Alaska and should have migrated to Mexico. How she got to Kentucky is anyone's guess. I had the pleasure of meeting them all February ending and I just fell in love with this precious one, so very far away from home. Thankful heart for Anna and Julie who are taking wonderful care of her. Hoping that when Willa decides to leave and return to her own kind, that she does well on her travels. As of this writing she remains here. An expert is thinking that she should leave by mid-April...we shall see what she decides to do soon~ </i></span></span></div>

I was truly amazed at the perfect timing and got a few nice enough images, that I was quite pleased. These birds migrate down here from the far regions of the far North. We have seen them on our travels out West, and the Winter over visitors I have seen in the past was mostly females. These birds are gorgeous and have a nick name called the Gray Ghost...the ease with which they flew, landed, and their colouration, I now know why~</i></span></div>

It appeared my last visit that they were doing well and about 7 to 10 days behind the other nest~</i></span></div>

This day after visiting my sister I captured these 4 Double Crested Cormorants. At first they flew away when they spotted me. As I was getting ready to leave, one of them returned, but this time it landed on a large piece of fast moving drift wood...then a second bird and a third landed. The third one landed on a different, smaller even faster moving piece of drift wood. The fourth one had a bit of trouble finding a place to land, but in the end they were all together again. I have also seen Pied-billed Grebes, Hooded Mergansers and a pair of River Otters</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">One early morning I taken the dogs out for their first outing around 5:00. I always notice the Moon and often times will bring out my cameras and shoot some pictures of it and also Venus when I can get them close together. The Moon was full and shadowed just enough to give it a great appearance. I grabbed the cameras. Just the day before I had changed the one camera from continuous shooting to single...UGH, or otherwise this story would have a to</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">tally different outcome. I shared this with my nephew Roy at the time and my exact words were SHOOTOHSHOOT! The few seconds that it takes to shoot one image to the next is all it took to miss a chance of a lifetime. As many times as I have done this in my many years of photography I have never once seen this happen before. A black subject was suddenly climbing right up my Moon shot and the only thing I got was the two contrails that you can faintly see across the moon shot and then as it lifted over the top of Moon, you can see slivers of it a little better. I PROMISE the jet plane was there and it is something I have seen over and over again this morning in my memory, and I just hate that I missed snagging it~</span></i></span></div>

I had not seen the female after July 3, for quite some time. I learned from Kentucky Fish and Wildlife as well as Raptor Rehab of Kentucky people that possibly the female had been taken and was getting ready to be released back into the wild following an injury. That however was a mistake and this pair is still very much together~</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Meet Petey, a Winter visitor to Kentucky. Petey is fondly called that by as it happens a gentleman that I went to school with from St. Matthews back in the 1960's. Lee Squires and his wife Linda are hosting Petey. He is a Western Tanager and is far, far from his home range of the Northwest of the United States and up into Canada. They migrate down into Mexico along the Gulf side. Petey is only the second documented Western Tanager to show up in Kentucky. Lee and his wife are enjoying their visitor and he is being well cared for. Every morning right on time Petey appears in a favorite tree near the feeding station attached to the kitchen window. He partakes of live and dehydrated meal worms and he enjoys fresh fruit salad ;) with blueberries, apples slices and bananas to name a few of his favorites. I have been fortunate enough to make a few visits into the city to stop by and see this beauty. We all hope he survives the remainder of the Winter and will decide to return to his home grounds. If he decides to stay he will be well taken care of~</i></span></div>

<i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1c1e21;">On July 2, I injured myself when throwing large creek stones from down into our creek up onto the bank to help reinforce a creek stone pathway I had created. The occipital nerves run from the top of your spinal cord, up your neck, to the base of your skull. Irritation of these nerves can cause an intense, severe, stabbing pain in the back of your head or the base of your skull. The pain lasts from a few seconds to several minutes. This continued very badly and I ended up with physiotherapy for a few weeks to help ease it off. Then I was rear-ended on November 1 and it re-awoke the mess quite miserably for 5 long days, before it even began to calm again. Add insult to injury, I had been complaining for a few months that my left good knee was in a painful way. I had surgery on the day before Thanksgiving and my surgeon felt terrible as the MRI had not shown the full scope of the tear in my medial meniscus. Today things are getting better on all counts.</span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1c1e21;">Just a little over a week post knee surgery I made myself, willed myself to get out a watch a release of a Bald Eagle. A cold, yet absolutely brilliant morning filled with sunshine and a large crowd of people gathered to watch the release of Bald Eagle 19-64. the number for those who don't know represent the year 2019 and the 64th Raptor turned into Raptor Rehabilitation of Kentucky. It went off anticipated excitement and hope for a great liftoff. Unlike many releases of Raptors, the handler will toss, thrust lift up and release the bird into the air for a grand farewell as it takes upon win</span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">gs once again. In this mornings case, the bird is large weighing in at 11 pounds. She also had a rather feisty personality and so they center decided to release her in what is termed a "soft release" or rather allow the bird to release herself and that she did. From the time the crate gate was opened leading up to where one could no longer see the bird was in under two minutes. It was a wonderful showing. Since I still had knee issues, I could not walk out into the field and so I didn't have the view that those out there had, but rather the back of the beauty. Soar into the heavens beautiful girl. You fought so hard for this big day~ </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">My twin sister Haze had lung scans six weeks ago, results show the cancer has not grown much in the lungs. There is a tumor growing near her wind pipe and that is the one that will probably do her in. We can't see, or know if there are tumors anywhere else in her body. T</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">he word the doctor associate told me last week was she is "terminal and in her final life stage". She has lost 39 pounds, she is very fragile, in pain, but has rally rounds like she had yesterday. When I hug my sister, I don't want to let go, I don't want to walk away, I don't want to lose her, even in the heartache, the pain of the past, that can be eased away, but I realize every day that I can do nothing to change how this will turn out. For such a horrible disease, she has survived past her time given any for each day given, no matter the mood, no matter the pain or even the stress of it all, she is still with us and we can keep loving her through this hell called Cancer. It takes the life of loved ones and rips at the hearts of those left behind.</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">She is often times very sleepy, but Morphine does that to a person. She is terrible about taking her medication as prescribed because she doesn't like the way it makes her feel. She is doing this her way and while it can get very frustrating, we let it be. We love her, we forgive her, we pray for her and we take care of her the best we can, for what she will go along with. Only God knows the day, the hour, the moment He will call one home to heaven. My prayer is that I will be able to be with her, that she's at peace and that the quiet of the moment, when she takes her final breath, she will see Him face to face. That is my faith, my hope~</span></i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's nearing the end of October, and I cannot even remember June and all of Summer arriving and ending. This whole thing with my twin sister falling so very ill last Spring has really put the brakes on for me. The Summer was fairly kind to her and now the Autumn has shown some change...she is weaker, lost 9 pounds in a little over a week. Her daily life is still one of caring for herself and her beloved cat. She is very independent and doesn't want to call Hospice in yet. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning I drive into the city and do what I can. Whether it be just sitting with her and visiting, or running errands, taking her to her appointments, I am there for her. I go again on Sunday morning, sometimes before my Bible study and other times in place of that.</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Haze lives only a few miles away from the Louisville Zoo and I have been waiting with many others for the new baby elephant calf to be born. What a thrill when I learned that he had come into this world on August 2nd. He is an African Elephant and his mother's name is Mikki. The zoo had a statewide baby naming contest recently. Because elephants learn to use their trunks very quickly and use it to lift things the remainder of their long lives, my submission was Tuck. He will be tucking his trunk around many things in coming years. AND...LOOK at this KenTUCKy...people would always know he has a connection with our state. The final three entries for his name was Fitz...it got my vote, Walt and Rocket. His name is officially named just this past week... Fitz and I am so happy. </span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Dear friends, it's been a very long eleven weeks since I last posted for my first 10 year anniversary of my blog with you. Just prior to that I had announced the very sad news that my twin sister had been diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the lungs and was given 4 to 6 months. We hit the 4 month mark four days ago and saw her Oncologist on Wednesday. He had to tell her that he anticipates that she will more than likely not make the end of the next two months. Miracles can happen, but she is really very sick and only going to get worse in coming days and weeks. Being an identical twin makes things so much more difficult for me...for she was the first heart beat of another that I heard, she was the first human touch I felt, the first babbling, gurgling, whatever we do in the mother's womb...she was there with me. I was born and left her for just two minutes before she joined me in birth. Trying to imagine my existence without her is just awful. Being believers in Jesus Christ since a very early age and having a strong faith gives us the hope of eternal life and that we shall be together once again is what gives us peace for now.</i></span></div>

One of my afternoons I set off on a mission...to find and photograph the famous Red-tailed Hawk called Pale Male. Nine books written about him, a documentary called the "Legend of Pale Male" and directed by Frederic Lilien. I found him and took some amazing shots including this one that went viral on Facebook. I was so happy! I had prints made of the favorite two and this is Fredric after receiving the one that went viral~</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Five seasons with the Bald Eagles near where we live. 19 young raised in 9 years and this year was not so good. Two eaglets hatched, one lost within days and the second one at 7 weeks. The nest was just not built in a sound tree. The birds thought that a large branch hung up in the crotch of the tree was part of it and used it as their base. An early Spring storm knocked it down and from then n the birds worked non-stop to reinforce it. We had snow, ice, severe storms and then at 7 weeks, the nest simply half of it fell away and took the young one down. It survived the fall, but the property is private and secured by Homeland Security and I could not get permission to go on the land until the next morning...</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Last month I was invited to be a guest speaker for the Photo Forum Club of Louisville and do a presentation on some of my favorite images. The theme was to use most of the images that showed what my eye saw, while others may miss, as well as those which capture something meaningful to my own spirit. These are some of what was shared that evening. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>On the very day of the presentation I received some devastating news...that my twin sister Haze has cancer. It's small cell carcinoma lung cancer, and yes she smoked for 36 years before quitting some 19 years ago. 90% of all lung cancers are as a result of smoking. I have never smoked a day in my life...I wish that she had not either. Her tumor is already bigger than what is recommended to operate on and Haze is not a surgical candidate with her weakened lung capacity and beyond what would be able to survive such. Next Wednesday we will see the radiation Oncologist, the medical Oncologist and the cancer surgeon, who if anything may have to surgically insert a port in her arm, but we first have to find out if she has any cancer cells in her brain which was done yesterday.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Needless to say I am just making it through each day, trying to stay positive for both of us and knowing that things don't look very hopeful. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Please lift up Haze and her family as well as her caregivers. She also has a 2 year old cat that she adores named Tobit that I found for her and we will need to place him after...Thanking you!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Some of the statistics from my presentation made on the evening of April 24, 2019 regarding my </i></span><i style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">cameras.</i><br />
<i style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></i>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic...with those square flash cubes ;)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The husby then got me a Pentax 35 mm camera shortly after he came back from Vietnam.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Then came digital and he got me a small introductory camera a Nikon Coolpix.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Then came the Nikon D-90...a master of images...why you say? It was shown to have capabilities of taking 100,000 images. Eight years when it died a special card was placed in it at the camera shop and that camera had successfully taken over 400,000 images.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Then came my Nikon D-7000 which I still use with a 70/300 lens.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i> I also acquired this year a Nikon P900.</i></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Look how big the darling eaglet has grown since last sharing with each of you 3 weeks ago. The nest has gone through so many nature types of damage and the adult pair has been keeping it secure and adding to it nearly every day. The canopy of green is certainly nice to see and also that it grows in such a way, not to disturb the amazing view we have.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Following my 4th knee surgery 5 weeks ago, I worked on getting well for a few weeks as I had already purchased a ticket to visit my youngest daughter and her husband in Florida. I went there week before last and enjoyed the time very much, even though my toes never even touched a grain of sand.</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Upon arriving back home there were several things that had immediate consumption of my time. I had been invited to visit as guest speaker for the evening with Photo Forum Club of Louisville this past week. I was so nervous, had a few very heart breaking things I was dealing with, but I honored my commitment just the same. In my shares that evening I used 98 images on a sandisk folder as well as some 75+ images that I had burned to a DVD-R slideshow. I even mentioned you all and how much you encourage me in this blogging arena. I truly appreciate each of you.</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One member of the club thought that I was just a "birding photographer." I showed all kinds of photos that I had taken over the years, many of which have been shown on this blog. I love, love clicking the shutter at anything that comes in front of my vision ;) That being said, while I enjoy birds and as a matter of fact they are mostly featured in this blog post, I enjoy all kinds of photographic opportunities. The presentation was very well received and the man and woman who had invited me were very pleased and both would like me to come again sometime~</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope that you all are doing well. I hate being away from here for so long, and miss your posts when I am not available.</span></i><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: georgia, utopia, palatino linotype, palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.4px;">the eaglet has fallen and was found deceased this morning. I had permission to carry it's body out of the area where it was born and then hand it over to Wingspan of Kentucky. It's body will be sent to the Federal Government for their own way of disposing protected Birds of Prey. It's a very sad day, sad week~</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px;">Tuesday a Red-Fox Squirrel was killed on the lane where I observe the Bald Eagles. It happened after I arrived and I went to see how bad the kill was. It was clean and so I picked up the Squirrel and tossed it on the maintenance road in case the Eagles might claim it. Sure enough it was worth the wait. The first pass the Eagle went up into a nearby tree to observe the Squirrel. It then made a couple of passes, actually picked it up and tossed it at one point and then flew </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-size: 14px;">back up into the same tree again. It was worth the nearly 45 minute wait when it flew back down and grabbed it again, this time taking it to a nearby perch to eat it's fill before taking it up to the nest to it's partner. At one point it dropped the Squirrel and then lifted it off the ground once again. The hen then fed her at least two hatchlings before she partook of some herself. It was worth the long wait to watch nature unfold~</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><em style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">I located the Bald Eagle's nest the last week in December and I am thinking that the Bald Eagles had begun the process shortly after their nest tree fell last June. They had been in a few different trees prior to that on the same property for 9 years. I have followed them very closely for the past 4 1/2 years, this being my 5th season. My heart soared like an Eagle when I located the nest, as I never though that I would get to see this pair again, let alone observe and photograph them. Above is one of the pair that have a strong bond and have been together for at least 10 seasons, and maybe more prior to that. Below is the nest as seen on December 27, 2018. As a bird flies it is about a quarter mile from where it has been all of those years, and this is an area where they have hunted for their young in the past...an excellent choice for them. It is "Private Property" and it is in full view of those of us who park along the lane, a good football field's size from the nest tree. So long as no one ruins it for those of us who honor the "No Trespassing" rules and break them~</em> </span></div>

<em style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the site of the Bald Eagle nest there are two bodies of water, and a flood plain that holds a lot of water for a few months out of the year. As I had previously shared there were hundreds of birds, including Canada Geese, Pied-billed Grebe, Hooded Mergansers, Mallards, Black Ducks, Teal Winged Ducks, Snowy Egrets, Great Blue Herons, and Ring-billed Gulls to name a few. Many still remain, but many others have flushed due to the presence of the Bald Eagles~</span></em><br />

The well of the nest can now be seen from the road, but we are all hopeful that it can hold...I am praying for that...it would be so very sad for the Eagles to have worked so hard to rebuild for months and to lay eggs and to lose it all. My guess is that by February 2 an egg had already been laid as the pair had already begun brooding time when on that same day they had a few copulation sessions. That being said, my guesstimate for a first hatch would be between March 15-20. We shall hope for the best and I will be there along the way and share as I am able~</i></span></div>

<i style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My blog began as a Blogger blog, but we needed more support and Google came in and asked that we switch, but I was reluctant to do so. Other bloggers explained it to me and so I did switch over and it worked beautifully until last year when so many comments could not be found. As of December ending Google had announced that they are no longer going to support our blogs and in fact will be deleting all Google+ comments by February 4. On Google+ alone I house 9,352 comments and those are mine, they are my gifts from over 400 of you cherished friends and followers from Blogger and over 725 on Google+ and yet they are going to DELETE all of them by April 2.

The second nesting clutch no eggs are usually taken. This chick was given a name after his hatch of Fire Weed and then he became #1612 as part of the Whooping Crane Ultralight-assisted Migration program and went all the way to St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Florida from where it was born at the International Crane Foundation in Wisconsin his first year. He has had another male Crane that has been his buddy and they usually travel together, but this year his buddy met up with a female and now they are together as a pair. #1612 tends to be a loner and there is a single female nearby and the team at the foundation are hoping that the two will pair up. There are also two females that hang together and they lay eggs, but they are not fertile.

We have had a visiting Cooper's Hawk that watches the birds, but so far I have not seen any evidence that it has captured anything. We can pretty much hear when the birds give warning and I just have to step outside and it is all good. Of course I am not always able to do such. </i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had recently bragged...bragged to my youngest daughter that I have not had a cold, allergies, flu, pneumonia, no kinds of illness like that in 8 years this coming February. Ashleigh has not let me forget that little bragging brief that I gave her just a few days before... Oh My Goodness, GOODNESS I have been so ill! It began several days worth beginning with what I thought was an allergic reaction to the molds that I could smell permeating from the loads of leaves I lifted up into my arms and walked to fence row and threw pile after pile over the fence for nearly 2 hours. Then I wasn't feeling better and in fact I was really sick! I called my middle daughter who is an RN and she came right over. Breathing treatments to open up my airways. Steam shower to help me breathe. Lozenges for my sore throat, another kind for my cough. Then the fever began and I was miserable. My daughter said that if I wasn't better by morning I must either go to the ER, or to the DR. I chose to go to my Internist. As soon as I walked into the waiting room, they looked at me and handed me a face mask...Oh I must really be looking sick to them! The DR began writing orders for me to take to the hospital next door...Blood tests, Respiratory panel test, lung x-rays...all STAT. I thought that I must be in real trouble...everyone was shuffling me about pretty quickly, trying to get the results back. Positive for RSV...ugh... My cough was so bad for several days that my DR said that I very well could have cracked a rib, the pain was so bad on my right side, but an x-ray was not necessary as nothing could have been done anyway. This all began now 17 days ago and I am still not well...gaining on it a bit every day, but this is a virus that doesn't let up easy and you cannot treat it with an antibiotic. My husby had a birthday two days ago and he awoke with symptoms as well. RSV is not something to play around with. It can and does kill 15,000 adults in this country every year and it has been some frightening days where I wasn't sure if I could get better at home, or would end up in the hospital. Well I am doing better and tomorrow will be my birthday and Saturday we have to feel better so that we can enjoy a special meal out. It's our 49th wedding anniversary...Yikes! I am going to be fine, my husby will be fine and I hope and pray that each of you all are doing fine too. If you celebrate Christmas, I am wishing you a very beautiful and love filled day with family and friends. I hope that each of you are in good health for the year ending and the New Year ahead~</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I got an alert that a family in a nearby neighborhood had a hawk caught in their back porch, that had been trying to escape for 3 1/2 hours and was frantic. I drove over to find a lovely Cooper's Hawk that had flown through and ripped a hole into the window screen. Thank God it hadn't hit the glass window. It was an easy capture, in that it was tired and while it flew straight up, when it came back down, it was right in front of me and I talked to it as I approached it, gathered in it's wings and checked it over. Chuck with Wingspan of Kentucky gave me the go ahead to release it and we watched as it flew in the dark up into a nearby fir tree~</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>~<span style="color: #660000;">Happy Thanksgiving</span>~</i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>No matter if you celebrate with us in the United States of America, or not, I wish you a Thanksgiving day every day. My heart is thankful for so much in my life, much of which I often times take for-granted. One very important thing to me is my family and friendships. You all are my friends, many of which I have never met in real life, but have learned to know you very well on here as well as many on Facebook. I appreciate each of you and it is a pleasure to take a peek at what is happening in your part of the world and what you have been seeing and photographing.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>We won't be with family this year for the holiday dinner, but we will get to spend time with them during the weekend. My husby and I will have a wonderful meal at a restaurant that overlooks the Ohio River and then on Friday I will prepare our traditional Thanksgiving day meal because I love to do the cooking from scratch and enjoy the aromas as foods bake and roast, and the leftovers are such a wonderful thing after the big feast.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>I have a request...</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Even though we have never met one another, never spoken, I have known of this man since I was 16. He was my father's son from a previous marriage. I only learned information about him 5 years ago and he would now be 86 years old. He lives in Paradise, California where the recent Camp Fire burned up nearly the entire city. The devastation, the loss of lives, the fear they had to have gone through, those people who are listed as missing, pray that they will be found alive and well, for every day that goes by without word, makes it much more frightening for those searching for them. The loss of homes, land, domestic animals, wildlife, it's truly something that I am struggling with in a very big way. I cannot stop thinking about it. Please pray if you pray, lift up your very finest thoughts if you don't pray for all concerns for these who have lost everything. As for my half brother, we just don't know anything at all~</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The famous Budweiser Clydesdale Horses came to town last week. Many were disappointed that the whole team had not come according to advertising images, but for me I was thrilled to just see the two that did come. They are just gorgeous and gentle creatures. Two of our grands Braden and Maci and I got to pet one of them and that was a nice treat. We also had a surprise snow fall while en route and during the quick visit that we made into the city to see them. It made for some lovely snaps to share~</i></span></div>

<i style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I did seek the beauty in the mess for the ice covered property took on lovely scenes as I trudged around checking on the damage done. We don't hire out, we do the clean-up ourselves and I take on much of the task myself, other than using a chainsaw...oh no way. It's going to take months and one tree that was attached at the base of the larger one now fallen is in a very precarious position and it's facing the land that I have been working so much the last 4 years. You cannot control nature, that's for sure~</span></i><br />
