One of our rivers with farmland in the background ....
A baby cow ... I mean, a calf ...!
Spring is coming! That's a substantial hole in the ice!
Mmmm....
CANADA GEESE! I love them. Yes, I took these pictures while driving down an old New England route. I wondered if I'd find anything amazing. You see, I wanted to find something amazing to photograph! I drove and drove and had this feeling that I should look up and ....
BALD EAGLES! Holy, I almost drove off the road and into the river! They were right there. Literally, right in a tree that was right beside the road!
I got out of my car, shaking and buffeted by the wind. Would I spook them? I was so intent on keeping still and not being hit by passing cars, which were zipping by, that I didn't even think to use my zoom lens. Yes, they were literally this close. In the wild!
I've always wanted to see one in the wild. I think I did a year ago, but it was flying very high. I couldn't be sure. No mistaking these beauties! Two of them! Right there!
Oh, man...!
And, whoosh ... they were gone! Can you find it? Flying in the upper left corner...
This lake is a beauty but pales a bit in comparison. All in a Saturday morning in New England....
