These first few images were taken on my first walk down on our property in 8 plus very long weeks. My husband had mowed a few paths for me and I took my time and walked and enjoyed it all. This is our creek and I have used HDR editing to enhance them, otherwise it would look rather well...muddy. ;) The creek is full of frogs, but as I approached, you could hear them jump in the water
There is so much tragedy in so many places of this land, and around the world. Every day it is such a difficult process to think upon it all. I wish you all safety and peace, and I hope that those of your homelands and loved ones stay strong. I am thinking of you all in my heart thoughts lifted~

We don't have very many wildflowers, but sometimes I get surprises~
This is my favorite ride from the countryside into the city.
Sunrise on Covered Bridge Road~
Our daughter Hillary and her family recently moved and these were some of her cherished flowers. I was able to move them for her, and in time for their seasonal bloom~
Another morning, another sunrise~
Oh My Goodness, would you look at our new puppy Svetka. She is 7 weeks old now and will be flying home to her forever family this coming Saturday. We are so looking forward to meeting her, loving on her and enjoying her company. She started out "small and fragile" and now she is as her breeder says, "naughty and head strong." That's OK, she will be a wonderful girl~
Posies from my next door neighbors garden. I have to sneak over there, as we just don't have very many blooms in the shade of our land~
Sunflowers, and more at Foxhollow Farm and beyond
I love their Gladiolas~
An Eastern Kingbird~
From Foxhollow Farm, I stopped by to see about the juvenile Bald Eagles, now on their own for several weeks. As I was getting ready to leave, after finding no one at home, one of them suddenly flew in and I got a few captures, before it headed out again~
Along the country lanes there are often large patches of wild Queen Anne's Lace, Red Clover and Chicory growing~
This past Saturday was our local Oldham County Day Parade. I have been attending with family and friends every year, but a couple for the past 35 years. Always a fun time~
I close with a few more sunrise images, that almost always begin on Covered Bridge Road in Oldham County, KY, my little slice of home and beyond.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and think good thoughts for my puppy and her safe travels~
