This is a photo of the Potomac Eagle Scenic Train ride we took from Romney, WV. The view was just beautiful. We were lucky enough to see several bald eagles. The ride lasted about 2 hours, and we really enjoyed it. It was such a great, fun day!

Looking back at train

Squirrel eating from a squirrel feeder.
"Nut Hut Cafe" for SquirrelsMy husband just built this squirrel feeder. We call it the "Nut Hut Cafe". We put peanuts in it about 9 am. By 11 am, it's empty. We only fill it once a day, but we get lots of entertainment from it.

Dragonfly on Car
Dragonfly As Antenna DecorationWe watched this dragonfly land and leave 3 times in a few minutes. We figured he wanted his picture taken. My husband ran in and got the camera. The little guy waited for me to snap a pic and then flew away.

Chipmunk grooming on log

Beautiful tiger lily bloom
Garden: Spotted Tiger LilyIn spite of record breaking heat, to my surprise, these beautiful lilies emerged and lasted a couple of weeks. For the last couple of years they died out and did not make it to full bloom. I guess they made up for it this year.

Fox scratching itself
Wildlife: Sickly Fox (Litchfield County, CT)I was sitting outside taking photos of all the birds we get in our yard, and this guy appeared out nowhere. At first I didn't know it was a fox, because it didn't look anything like the healthy fox that I had seen a few days before.
