Guys! First day of Fall is tomorrow! October is only a couple weeks away and soon it'll be Christmas time! If you're like me, you're probably starting to think "I need to start my Christmas shopping!" Well....what better gift to give someone than something personal! And I'm here to help! I am coming up with some cool gift ideas if you or someone you know loves nature and wildlife. These items will be something to hold onto for a long time
Stay tuned!!

Thought these were worth sharing today. This guy was flying around me a few days ago when I was at the reservoir

Black Swan in Mascoutah. More pictures to come soon. He sure didn't mind anyone being around

Looks like Mascoutah also has an Osprey! Check out this cool dude I saw this morning!

Surprise! Mascoutah's newest resident. Looks like the Eagles stuck around after their nest fell apart and rebuilt and had another eaglet. Or I should say Juvenile now :)

I was going to wait to share this set of photos from Carlyle today, but I came across this one photo that made me smile and laugh. As I was leaving Hazlet, I pulled over because I thought I saw more deer. However, they were too fast for me. When I got back in my car I looked across the road and what do I see looking at me? This beautiful Osprey. I have never been this close to one and he was so chill and hung out letting me take his picture. By the look of this photo, do you think he was hoping for a photo op? LOL 😆

These guys made my morning quite fun and interesting. They weren't too worried about me being nearby at all. I probably took too many pictures but, they were obviously fine with getting their picture taken lol. Enjoy!

Love some butterflies and flowers :)
Carlyle, Illinois

Not the best photos of him but after today's outing to Carlyle, I must say this guy was my favorite to see today. He was a ham for the camera for a good minute or two, then took off.

This has to be my favorite picture of one of the goldfinches I took pictures of today in Carlyle! Look at him sticking his tongue out at me lol
