Actual eagles, that is - I just had to share!  I'm currently obsessed with the Outdoor Channel's "Eagle Cam".  It is exactly what it sounds like, a 24/7 camera that captures live footage of  eagles!  The camera lets you watch a bald eagle couple and their two babies in their home.  The nest is 100 feet high in a sycamore tree, and they are living in the National Conservation Training Center campus that is located in West Virginia! I didn't get to see when the babies were hatched a few weeks ago (sigh), but I have observed them eating fish, clumsily flopping around the nest (which is 6 feet across and 5 feet deep, by the way!), and resting with their parents.  Why don't you see what they are up to right now?

North central WV saw some fairly severe flooding a little while back (our basement was included, ugh).  On Sunday, Derek and I came out of hibernation and explored around at Prickett's Creek, which was hit hard.

so happy to see these little guys!

I hope everyone (in the US) had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying their leftovers!

Right now on my etsy shop I am running a 20% off sale for purchases of $50 and more!  I'd love it if you would take a look around.
 
 
I hope everyone has been able to enjoy this last bit of nice weather we've been having (at least in WV, anyway)!  Thought I would share some fall photos from a weekend walk along a local trail...
 
 
This past weekend my husband and I celebrated our 1st anniversary!
