Happy Thursday, wishing everyone a great day!
Slowly making my way back into blogland.
I am sharing our trip to the Delaware and Maryland beaches on Feb 13-15. I have some photos of the beach and bridge at the Indian River Inlet State Park in Delaware.
A distant photo with a few Common Loons hanging around the beach and inlet.
A Loon and a female Merganser.
I hope you enjoyed my sky photos and the birds seen at the shore.
I am thankful for having our power turned back on after a windstorm. It was out from the morning of March 2nd to the evening of March 6th.
Thanks to all the linemen and power company workers.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hosting. Thankful Thursday
Thank you to the hosts of Skywatch Friday
Thanks so much for visiting and for your nice comments on my previous post. Have a happy day!
...a lovely area, the bridge is a big WOW!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to loons returning here. Won’t be long now.
ReplyDeleteHello. A beautiful beach with wonderful sand. Walk around it and watch the birds, it is certainly a great relax. Regards.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your power is back on Eileen that would have been very trying... I love the bridge photo with all the lines against the sky backdrop:)

Such picturesque beach scenes, Eileen and great shots of the merganser!
ReplyDeleteThat was a long time to be without power so I'm sure you are really grateful that it has been restored!
Have a lovely day!
Beautiful and peaceful beach front and pretty sky views! Nice bird watching and I enjoyed the last photo.
ReplyDeleteGood that you’re back to normal with turned power and the storm seems to be heaver to last long
Take care
Good Morning, Eileen. Beautiful photos. It is miserable to be without power. I, too, am thankful for those who brave the elements to restore power. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteBeleza de fotos e lugar e adorei a foto do casal em sombras, na primeira foto! bjs, tudo de bom,chica
ReplyDeleteGreat beach scenes. Love the one of your shadows.
ReplyDeleteWe got as far as Penn's Landing, Eileen, when we were in Philadelphia some years ago. I guess these wonderful beaches may not have been too far away...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach pics.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.

ReplyDeleteMergansers always look like they are having a "cute" hair day....hahhaha.... love the look of them.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I love the beach and the beautiful bridge. Glad you are back in blogland again.
Happy Thursday!
How very peaceful on the beach! Nice to have such a quiet time on the beach! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou must be very thankful for blue skies! Glad your power is back. That sounded grim.
ReplyDeleteHaving the power back on after that long would be at the very top of my thankful list and I'm thankful that you've got yours back. It had to be awful. The longest period of time I've ever been without power is 3 days
ReplyDeleteoh wow, Eileen, what a treat to see you here. And what beautiful beach images; the shadow one and the bridge. In fact, every single photo is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Jo
ReplyDeleteWhat blue-tiful skies! Lovely.
ReplyDeletePower, these days everything uses it and we are lost without it. The bridge photo, how about entering it in a competition? A winner by a mile or more.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos . Glad you have your power back on . Thanks for sharing , Have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen, good that your electricity is back...it was away long enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these views, I like to follow.
Have a serene weekend!

ReplyDeleteAlways a good feeling being here with you, E
ReplyDeleteLovely shots at the beach - loons, bridge and all.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. That is an awesome looking bridge.
ReplyDeleteThose skies are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove that bridge, Eileen! And it is always a thrill to hear a loon so I hope they were calling a bit!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! Happy weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteIrene :)
A nice "warm" collection...it is very chilly here...STILL!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteGreat shots.
ReplyDeleteYour shadow shots always make me smile!! That style of bridge is so photogenic. Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteThat bridge is exceptional! Glad you have power back on. We have had that situation before and you never realize how much you rely on electricity, until you don't have it. Thanks for linking up today!
ReplyDeleteLove the bridge photo...really a great shot. Nice to see the beach and the birds, and I know you are happy to have electric back on, it's hard to do without! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great trip, Eileen. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYou two are so tall ;>)!! I'm glad you got that beautiful beach trip in before the nasty March weather hit! It was really lovely there back then. There's nothing so good for the spirit as walking on a beach!
ReplyDeleteBut what a nasty storm March brought -- I kept reading the news and thinking of all my blog friends 'up North' -- that was a long time for your electricity to be off! I'm glad it is back on and you had no lasting ill effects. And I'm glad you're back getting comments again, so I can tell you that !!
Beautiful pictures.. Love the picture of the bridge..
ReplyDeleteHappy you are back with power . . .
ReplyDeleteLiked the little loon, wonder where the partner was . . .
Eileen, I lovelovelove your sky photos! I don't think anyone enjoys beautiful skies any more than I do - I was commenting on it just today!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, It has been decades since I have walked a beach in the winter and I miss it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely beach, hard to believe the bridge comes out onto the sand.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your beachy pics. We often have Mergansers visit our pond for a day or two and then off they go. Awesome bridge
ReplyDeleteMB
All beautiful photos from your trip ~ love the bridge one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you,

ReplyDeleteThat is a long time to be without power, but I think you had your generator available to help you out?
