I went by Walmart and got one of those folding chairs and was sitting out back taking in the spring afternoon and looked up and spotted bird high in the sky so I ran in and got my camera and got a few shots... in the back of my mind I was thinking 'hey this is an eagle' but I really couldn't tell until I loaded the card in the computer and sure enough I his white head was there. My day was made then!!! Then a little later I was sitting back out there and spotted another bird. This one was smaller than the eagle so I got my camera and it turned out to be an osprey. Two of them! They were hunting over the lake here behind the house. One time it looked as if one had spotted a fish and was about to dive, but he didn't. They did put on a good show for me.. flying low over the lake (low it's what you may think) and I was able to get some pretty good shots. It's hard to hold the camera with the 400mm lens and keep track of the bird at the same time. I must say I love my old Canon 20D. When I got the 400L lens I put it on the 20D and haven't taken it off. Maybe one day I can get the 600L.
I sure needed this afternoon for some reason for the past week I've just felt so bad.. just not wanting to do anything. I hate feeling like that and I don't care what people tell you there's nothing that can make you feel better. I think what worries me the most about this is the way I brush my friends off at work. They mean well and God knows I don't mean to be cold, but there's times I just can't help it.
Well this afternoon has been great... I enjoy the little simple things like shooting these pictures of the birds and also Lauren is back in town. When my little girls are gone Dad worries about them... no matter how old they get they will always be my babies and until I go to Whitesand I'll always worry.
The picture is of the Osprey this afternoon..
