An eagle and stuff..

Heard the distinctive "cree" of an eagle last week and ran outside with the trusty camera.




There it was! A fledgling sitting in one of our trees. Probably came from
 the Delaware Water gap which is nearby.


Every year I watch the Decorah eagle cam, but never realize how big they are!
He stayed for about 15 minutes spreading his wings into the morning sun.


Which one will be next to feel Hubby's axe?


I love the bark on this one:


They NEVER stop growing!










A burly root:

Hickory nuts!We have millions of  'em!


The stalks from the lilies have turned brown already  - This is just one of many bundles
 that I have pulled out!



A hint of Fall?



:o)

  3. All forked trees need to go. They'll eventually come over on their own anyway.
