Sunrise 01-01-2010

While I was out and about this morning I drove by George Wyeth Park and saw the female eagle again (closer), and I swear she was posing. I'm still waiting for the male to show up - 2010 is going to be my year of the eagle.

Snowy Tunnel

I was driving around yesterday and came across this view - a gorgeous winter tunnel. Winter may be cold - but it does provide some beautiful opportunities for photographs.

I also caught a glimpse of an eagle - I was driving the wrong type of vehicle to get any closer, so using my 400 mm lens I took this photo of what appears to be a female eagle. I'm still looking for that perfect eagle photo, but this is a start (at least I saw one).

Eagle

Frequent visitors to my Blog know that I have been trying to take a photo of an Eagle. Every time I see one they are out of range and every time I don't have a camera I see them - it's as if they are taunting me. We visited Calkins Nature Area in Iowa Falls and there was a stuffed Eagle on display. I couldn't help myself - so I took a photograph. I'm still chasing a live one, but in the mean time here's an Eagle.
