A Saturday Morning in New England ...


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....
