"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

Loon

Pickwick Lake, Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, February 22, 2024

The Common Loon, Gavia immer, breeds in Canada, but migrates south for the Winter. It was a very cloudy day, and the water reflects the grey of the clouds, but I am glad we went to the lake. It has been several years since I have seen a Loon, and I was excited to get a photo of this one!

Have a great weekend!

The boat pushing its barges near the far shore of Pickwick Lake is Marquette Transportation's "Jonathan Erickson." The white birds on the water are Gulls, and the darker birds are Cormorants.
