I know this is becoming common place here, but every morning I walk to the Eastern rim of the Emerald Canyon, and look around. Today  Great Blue Heron fishing in Rocky River, in the Emerald Canyon, Lakewood, Ohio. Upstream 200'...  ... were two more Great Blue Herons fishing in Rocky River, in the Emerald Canyon, Lakewood, Ohio As a kid, when most of the fish and wildlife had disappeared from the canyon it was rare to see any Great Blue Heron. Now to see hawks, falcons, eagles, turkey vultures and various herons, fishers, finches, wood peckers, owls, etc. shows how well and area can come back. .

Put the " [img]and [/img]" tags around the url to your image, less the quotes. The image has to be hosted someplace - not your local drive. For example, if your image URL is: Code: http://ChristopherBindel.com/images/pic1.jpg then in the message text you would type: Code: [img]http://ChristopherBindel.com/images/pic1.jpg[/img]

 [img]"http://media.lakewoodobserver.com/images_web_res/2842_18646.jpg"[/img]  [img]"http://media.lakewoodobserver.com/images_web_res/2842_18647.jpg"[/img] Right click on the image to copy the image address. Put that between the [img] tages. You had the page addresses in between the [img] tags. (Don't use the quotes!) Cool foxes!

Oh, ok. I knew the first part but the URL's I had were not working. I forgot you could right click to get the location. Thanks for the help.
Anyways I saw the above foxes on a walk in Lakewood.

 Our cat lives like a king. In fact, he rules our household.

 An immature Great Egret stops for a meal. Great Egrets stop here for breeding preferring to spend most of their time south of the Mason Dixon Line.  Our 4 year old African Spur Thighed Tortise. Many ask so here is the update. When we bought "Hoover" he was the size of a silver dollar. In the past 4 years he has grown to 42lbs.! He will live to 86-100 years! These are things everyone should consider when buying a pet, obviously I did not. Right now he loves dandelions, and cannot get enough. So there are upsides. .

I'm glad you showed the eagle. I've told friends outside of Lakewood that I've seen a couple when I drive up Riverside drive. They sometimes just soar the air currents like the hawks.
