I hope your week is off to a good start. 5 degrees here this morning--I was glad there was no more snow to shovel! I'll be on a plane in twelve hours and for the next two days! It remains to be seen how much you'll hear from me for the next ten days, but I will be thinking of you, and of this little space, and will post when I can.
Since I'm preparing for flight, I wanted to share some pictures of an eagle to whom we got surprisingly close when out beach-hiking recently. It's getting to be the hungry season, and I suspect that the eagle's lack of shyness had something to do with the fish carcass washed up on the tide. The crows were pretty interested too.
It soon took off, but didn't go far, and treated us to a display of swoops, circles and glides.
Amazing aerodynamics
and always, so dignified.
Sending much love.
Those are beautiful images, Ela. Thank you for sharing them. I know dealing with the cold is a challenge for you, and it would be for me as well...but being surrounded by such incredible natural beauty seems like a pretty good exchange.
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful trip. i hope you take lots of pics for us! but also have fun
ReplyDeletesafe travels dear friend, we both are going to be traveling here soon but going to different places. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mindy--yes, that's definitely how I think about it, that the natural beauty makes up for some of the challenging cold!
