What a morning!

Incredible morning!  Lots of turtles,  birds singing, a bear and a Pileated Woodpecker. You just never know what you will find when you step out into the natural world. These are my day #2 100happydays.com  photos. 

Friday night

I love the view from the Breezy.   Gorgeous night, empty restaurant and a excellent meal.

Yesterday I had a volunteer shift at the Basha Kill Wildlife Area.  It was a gorgeous day.  I enjoyed talking to the public and watching the birds. 

100 Happy Days, Day 1

I'm participating in  the 100 Happy Days challenge.  http://100happydays.com/ These pictures represent the things that made me very happy today.  The trees were full of Cedar Waxwings today on my hike with Monty.  Soon as I entered the woods I completely decompressed.  I took a trail that I knew no one would be on and soaked all the quiet into my soul.

Long life my 3 little friends. 

How lucky am I?

Look at the nature I get to see when I'm out and about working.  I feel like the luckiest person alive.  I am getting paid to do two of my favorite things, hanging out with dogs and seeing tons of wildlife. 

Annual Letchworth Trip

My heart full, soul renewed.  I love our annual trip to the Grand Canyon of the East.  This year hubby had a fawn follow him while after his Mt. Bike broke down.  He returned the little thing back to where he first saw it.  We also saw a bear!  My first for the year, and first for Letchworth State Park.

Baby Turtles

Glaucomys volans

I have 4 young Flying Squirrels in rehab now.  Someone found them in their kitchen a week and a half ago. They were keeping them in a tiny cage and feeding them pecans.  People only mean well,  at least he finally contacted the Humane Society and they contacted me.   They are almost ready for release.  I am going to feed them well for about a month and then let them go on our property where I will leave them food for a few weeks.  Every time I think I'm going to quit rehabbing something like this happens.  I am needed in my community.
