Fly like an eagle.
Or rest like one in alert stillness.
Who’s looking at whom?

Comment:
Most of my photography is of landscapes, often with a bit of abstractness thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, I do not have the right gear for capturing birds, whether resting or in flight, such as a powerful zoom lens, so I wasn’t sure how these photographs taken with only a small zoom would come out. Fortunately, for this image, I was able to crop the raw file and sharpen the image to present a reasonable good image of the two eagles. Interestingly, it wasn’t until I was reviewing and cropping the images did I notice the second eagle to the lower right of the first.

Most of all, she is crazy about her brood. She smiles more when she’s with them. Laughs more. Enjoys more. Relaxes more. Has more fun. She just loves her family.
