eagle eyes
 
Hello people,
I'm an eagle freak.(not the Philadelphia Eagles)
Why? Well here's my story, On May 25, 2009 I lost my father. (By the way that was memorial day that year.) He was an ex marine and quite the outdoors man. He passed at high noon while taking his nap. With his arms crossed and his marine cap pulled down over his eyes his last words were, "Now this is the life". That afternoon l went for a walk to gather myself. While walking through a feild a bald eagle in flight swooped down towards me. I had not seen one in a few years. Ever since then I see at least ten to fifteen a week. So I have an angel above. And now dedicated to taking their picture. I'm not that great at at but improving. I like the action type but take the stills too.

Nice image. Would love to see the original. Just check the STORE ORIGINAL box when you post a photo. BTW, an interesting moon fact, did you know that the moon always shows the same face to the earth?

Hey Howard; keep up the good work.
Welcome to FLA my friend!

Did you know a settlement was reached for Marines
that died from cancer and seven other problems
after going to Paris Island boot camp?
