Happy Thursday, wishing everyone a great day!
On Jun 15th, hubby and I went on a day trip to Shenandoah National Park. These are some photos from along the way and at the park and on the Skyline Drive. We hiked the Limberlost Trail, walked on the Big Meadows and stopped at a few overlooks along the Skyline Drive.
On the drive to the park I was riding on Rt 340 just outside Berryville Virginia I looked over and saw a Roseate Spoonbill. A rare sighting for Virginia, I had to turn the car around and go back for some photos. Looks like a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill was hanging out on a flooded field with a couple of Mallards.
The White tailed deer can be seen along the Skyline Drive, usually early in the morning and later in the evening. Do your two deer, one is a little hidden. I wonder how many bike riders have seen bears along their rides, they could be surprised unexpectedly having a bear pop out on the drive.
A few Shenandoah Park birds, the top left I am not sure of it's id, the top middle bird is the female Eastern Towhee and top right is the male Eastern Towhee. Bottom left is a Cedar Waxwing, middle bottom row is a Song Sparrow and bottom right is a Blue-headed Vireo.
Columbine seen along the Skyline Drive.
Skipper on the mountain laurels.
A couple of sky shots taken at the Big Meadows, Shenandoah.
Some flower on the Big Meadows.
Black Bear seen along the Skyline Drive in the Northern Section of the park.
We were first to see this Black Bear along the Skyline Drive. I was glad not to have a line of cars in front or back of me.
I am thankful for the wildflowers, what a lovely sight.
I love seeing wildlife, I was thankful to see the Black Bear.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
