 Here's one for the eagle lovers. This one was working on getting something out of the ice the entire time I was taking pictures. I couldn't get super close, becuase there was someone else taking pictures of him too. There was another person out, I will call them a weanie, because they were shooting from inside their mini van with what looked like the hubble telescope! I got out of the Jeep and stood in snow up to my knees! Oh well, I suppose if I had their lens, I might have thought about doing the same thing.

Hubble telescope!! How funny!! Yeah, I want one too, I called NASA last week but they haven't returned my call yet!! LOL.

Cool Shot! Pretty close for an eagle I'd say! Nice work!

Pretty cool to see that, I love eagles and have witnessed quite a few in the wild but haven't seen this before.

Mississippi River, almost literally! This is at the Marina in Fort Madison. I need to take a nice telephoto lens with me next time and then I won't have to stand in the snow.

The other person didn't deserve to get any good shots from inside the warmth of a minivan! Definitely a weenie.
