I confess…we were lucky enough to get away to the land of the sun for two weeks! As you already know, hubby was sick and eventually I got sick and I’m still sick….BUT….I did have about nine days of feeling good enough to go out and capture some images.
I found waves and pretty birds and then something that grabbed me by the throat and wouldn’t let go…I found an eagle’s nest, complete with two eaglets and their parents…wouldn’t you know it…the day after I left, one of the eaglet left the nest!
I’ll be showing you some of my favorites…I will also tell you about how exhausting it was to STRUGGLE with a camera and somehow come out with a few good shots..I threatened to throw it into the “jungle” I don’t know how many times…I think I caught the cough from hell because I got so exhausted over the hours that I spent with the eagles. It was worth every cough I’ve had since then…they are just amazing, amazing birds.
So I’m starting off with one of my favorite wave images…
What I would give to be standing in that wave with the sun shining on my face.

That water looks inviting.
Speaking of eagles, many are currently watching this pair in northeast IA near Decorah. They have 3 eggs as of March 3rd. In the link, give it a minute to load and play an ad. Then, you have a live view. http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles
I hope your cough goes away soon. I fought one of those for weeks over the holidays. Nasty.

It was more than 6 weeks before I felt ‘over’ it. Tiresome is indeed a good way to describe it. Both for me and my dear wife. I spent a number of nights on the couch to give us both some relief.
The webcam is great. Keep it bookmarked. When they hatch in a few weeks, they are cute little things. Mom and Dad are really busy then.

I bookmarked it!!
I spent eleven out of fourteen nights sleeping on the couch while we were in Florida and hubby was sick…then when I got sick, it was just easier to be there..(closer to the popsicles)…now at home I’m sleeping on the couch again, LOL!

No, no, not summer. Summer’s too hot here. But I’d settle for late spring.

Wonderful detail in the droplets and the foam, and lovely gradations of the gray-green colours.
