Watery Wednesday. I like to call it my lake

For this Watery Wednesday I thought I would post some photos of the lake down the street from our house. It is a reservoir for the local city and I am lucky to have it within walking distance.

Scenic Sunday.. Bryce National Park

Following my Skywatch of Arches National Park I thought I would  continue with my theme of national parks for Scenic Sunday. These are photos from my visit to Bryce National park and another of my favorite parks.

The rock formations remind me of being in a fairyland. There are rock formation  shaped like castles. Hubby, son and I walked the trail checking out the rock and all the awesome colors.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a great day! 

Chincoteague Island, Virginia

 Several times a year my husband and I spend a weekend at  Chincoteague Island, Va. The biggest attraction here is at the Chincoteague National Wildlife refuge. During our May visit this year we passed a couple of the ponies and two foals walking down the road.

 

The ponies can been seen all around the refuge. I do not know many places where you can sit on a beach in the company of wild ponies. Sometimes we see them walking down the road or off in the fields, they are just so cute. There is a legend that the Chincoteague ponies are descendants from two Arabians that survived a shipwreck and swam ashore back in the 1600's.

Once a year to keep the herd size down , the local volunteer fire dept holds a pony auction. When I was a just a kid my favorite book was Misty of Chincoteague, I think I read it over and over. Besides seeing the horses Chincoteague is one of my favorite places to go birding. One of my photos shows Cattle Egrets sitting on the ponies.

Thanks for the visit, enjoy your day!

That's my World.. a Maryland waterfront walk

Being a birder I am always looking for new places to do some birding. The waterfront walk at HavreDeGrace, Md is one of those places.

Ducks and Geese

Great Blue Heron

There is a nice boardwalk to view where the Susquehanna meets the Chesapeake Bay. It also has a few of our favorite restaurants for Maryland crabcakes and seafood.

This HavreDeGrace walk has become one of our favorite walks and part of our world. For more great That's my World photos,please click on my link. Also thanks to the team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy,  Louise and Sylvia for hosting.

Scenic Sunday...Glacier National Park in Montana

Glacier National Park is a beautiful park. The mountains, waterfalls and the famous Going to the Sun road is just amazing.

The road can be scary at times, I had to let my hubby do some of the driving. I usually drive on our all our vacations and road trips, but there were times I couldn't look over the side. There were times a waterfall went under the road.

The views from this Going to the sun road is stunning. We split the park up into two parts staying first at the Lake McDonald and the other was on the opposite side of the park.

We took some hikes that led to waterfalls such as this one. Notice the water coming out of a hole near the middle, it looks neat.

We covered most of this park even the part of the park going into Waterton, Canada.


The wildlife viewing in this park was great too we saw mountain goats, black bears, and moose.

Sky Watch Cape May Lighthouse

A few weekends ago hubby and I drove to Cape May, NJ. It rained during the 3 and half hour ride but when we arrived at the Cape May Lighthouse park the sky was blue and looking lovely.
