  1. Have a family of Eagles nesting in a tree across from my home. Can not get a photo of them too far away

  2. Wonderful photos!!! Now I’m really sad that I didn’t get to come home this summer!!

  3. Jane, the photo is perfect as is. Without a bird to distract, the weathering of the feeder stands out.

  4. I grew up with that view of Wilson Lake.I played on the two big rocks in the picture for hours.It really has not changed for over 60 years.Thanks for sharing the pictures.~~~Russ Moody

  5. I look forward to seeing these pictures every week and am impressed by the quality and diversity of all the pictures taken. Thank you to all of the wonderful photographers for a job well done.

  6. Once again – beautiful pictures of our wonderful area. Thank you for the snake picture – I’ve never seen a ring neck as they are nocturnal hunters.
