My afternoon with the EAGLES.

The beauty and majestic grace of

the bald eagle has always intrigued me.

To see them in their natural 

habitat was just plain awesomeness.

 I first got the opportunity

a while back to see them 

and as luck would 

have it...I left my bleeping 

camera card at home!  Oh the horror.  :(

2nd opportunity arises...the sun went 

down too soon.  It was 

a great time riding, and I got to see them

but still no pictures.

3rd opportunity...Bingo!

I wish I had a longer lens, but hey 

they turned out pretty decent for a

point and shoot kind of girl.  :)

I want photography to be my lazy hobby, 

which in my mind means I don't want to

learn all the technical things about

my camera.  I can tell when a picture

looks good to me and that is really all 

I am after.  :)

They were at their nest and kept flying overhead squawking at me.  Here is one flying by the

huge nest.

I know they were not happy

to see me.  If they knew how happy I

was to see them, they would have posed

for me.

Instead, they just flew back and forth 

landing and taking off, if I got anywhere near.

I looked pretty silly chasing them back

and forth I am sure, but it was just "me and them".

Obviously here, he is taking off and 

calling me a several choice names

I am sure.  

He probably was figuring out how he

could poop on my head.  

He may have been thinking about it in this 

picture.  He could have got 

me pretty good.  :)

I didn't get many of them sitting down. 

They would fly if I got anywhere near.

I had to zoom pretty good to get

this one.

I will definitely try to get back to

see them.  Maybe I will have a 

better lens next time.  I will

be taking some sunscreen next time. 

I normally am adamant about taking it with

me, but I forgot just how far away the 

eagles were and even got lost a couple 

of times.  I had

taken the top off the Jeep for

the first time and got a little toasty.  :(

Get out there and take some pics!  :)
