Today is the "official" First Day of Autumn (Fall) here in the US.
One of my all time favorite seasons and it has been a beautiful day here.
So today I'm joining Tanya (Around Roanoke) for WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE
I went to Rooks Park today to take some pictures and I'm sharing some of the photos I took while I was there.
1. I spotted a large bird flying in the air as I was walking through the park. I managed to get a shot of the bird in flight but I'm saving that for another post. (I know rats....) - Anyway the bird landed in a tree and I was able to get some shots of it.
This is as close as I could get with the lens that I had on the camera. The bird is some type of a hawk I believe. - Edited to add, I now believe this bird is an Osprey rather than a Hawk. Any birders out there to help with identification let me know.
- Later on in this post you'll see another picture of this bird.
2. A sign that Autumn is in the air...
3. Just a pretty shot of the clouds and one of the trails in the park.
4. A photo of some Queen Anne's lace in bloom. - What caught my eye was the tiny hint of "lavender" in the center of the bloom. - That's a bit unusual.
5. On the way out I noticed these little rock cairn formations.
6. Okay for my bonus photo...I caught another shot of the hawk in flight and after I uploaded it to the computer I noticed something cool in the shot.
Be sure to enlarge the photo for better detail.
Do you see it? - The bird has a fish in it's talons! My first ever capture of a bird with a fish.
Also joining in on FRIENDLY FILL-INS on McGuffy's Reader.
