The sure-fire sign that summer is here--the rental kayaks and paddleboats are out at the State park. Of course, 85 degrees makes them look pretty tempting...
As I was looking at the kayaks, a bald eagle soared overhead and landed in the trees on the point behind the kayaks. My trusty P&S just barely had enough muscle--this is a little pixelated, but below the eagle is a juvenile--the brownish blotchy lump behind the trees. He took off shortly after I took this shot. Too young yet to have the white head and tail, but impressive in size nonetheless.

Love all the colors of those boats. Such an enticement to get out on the water. What an impressive, gorgeous eagle, too!
ReplyDeleteI love bald eagles, they have such a unique look. Those boats just make me want to get in one and go out in the water!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I love the colors of the kayaks.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize the young eagles didn't have the white.

ReplyDeleteI love the color grouping of the kayaks. 85 degrees!!!!!!!!!!! We're expecting another FREEZE tonight! (I muffled my complaining all winter, but I've HAD IT!) Thanks for your funny comment on my blog about "they will eventually be absorbed into the collective." It really cracked me up!

ReplyDeleteThat kayak shot could be used in a company brochure, so colorful!
ReplyDeleteI am normally sad about summer, I hate heat. Those kayaks are uch cool shots though.
ReplyDeleteI know you were sick when I shared this but you will enjoy it. Before the new Trek movie (which is awesome) the paper did a story on my husband. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090506/ENT/905070349/1027/ENT02/+Star+Trek++fan+poised+for+new+film
