Yesterday, the day before Valentine’s, hubby and I went on an open-air tram ride around the Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge. I was delighted to see that love was in the air, as this pair of Red-Shouldered Hawks sat together on a branch. You can almost hear him asking her, “Please will you be my Valentine?”
Wishing you all lots of love, caring and sharing, today and every day.

Great title, too! You could make a living just writing the wonderful titles that you write! 🙂 Well, that’s not totally true. They wouldn’t be so perfect without the great content you pack into them! 🙂
You do say the nicest things, Marsha. 🙂 xx

A beautiful capture 🙂

Thanks, Colline. 🙂
Not often would you see two hawks together like that. A Valentines special for sure. 🙂
Thanks, Sue. Yes, I was so thrilled to see this pair, just above our heads. 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and hubby, Sylvia.Great shot of those loving hawks. Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge sounds like a good little side trip for Ron & me. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thanks so much, Lynne. Yes, the tram ride is really worth doing. It’s free, but you do have to book in advance, as it only holds 6 people. The Wakodahatchee Wetlands, just down the road, is the best for bird viewing, and you get a nice long walk there.
To see hawks like that, in all their majestic selves so peaceful is quite something isn’t it 🙂
Yes, it was really special, Andy. 🙂
You lucky, lucky fish!
Cor, what a great capture. Très impressive.
Telephoto lens?
Thanks, Ark. Nothing fancy, just the zoom on my medium-priced Nikon P510.
Lovely picture. Happy Valentine’s Day. 🙂
Thanks so much, Elaine. 🙂
Bird pics are lovely for Val Day. So much better than boring desserts. Aren’t they gorgeous. Love raptors.
We woke up and sang the happy valentine song, and soon he will be home and we will do all those things you wish us all. Hope you are having a lovely day too. I like Val Day.

Thanks. Glad you liked the hawks. Have a wonderful evening. 🙂 xx
Happy Valentine’s, Ad 🙂
Thanks, Jo. You too. 🙂
Same to you too… Happy Valentine’s Day.
Thank you. 🙂 xx
