Hawk Nest






This past winter every time I traveled on County Road K toward Trego, I noticed a large nest on a telephone pole. I always assumed it was an eagles next. A few weeks ago I noticed another nest being built right next to the first one. It was then I realized that this was a nest of a hawk. When ever I stopped to take pictures the hawk would stay at the nest until I got too close. then it would fly to another pole and then eventually back to the nest pole. It will be interesting to see if they actually will lay eggs and then watch them hatch. Anyone want to do a "Hawk Cam"? Like the eagle they are so majestic when they fly and seemingly a very smart bird. God gave them instincts for hunting, building nests and taking care of the family.

Early Spring Flowers






Spring has always been one of my favorite seasons of the year. the snow is finally gone and the wild flowers are starting to show up. Tonight I was down at lake not too far from here called Dilly Lake. The woods was right next to the boat landing and at the edge of the woods these white flowers were growing. I practically had to get down at eye level to take the pictures, but I think it was worth it. If any body knows the name of these flowers I would greatly appreciate it. The blue flowers were down the road a little. It won't be long and the trillium will be popping up along with other flowers. If you know of a place that is a good area for wild flowers please let me know. If it isn't too far, I will look it up and take some pictures. All I know is that God is a great artist and makes our world interesting to look at.

Enjoy the flowers and let me know what you think.
