It was so darn hot at the lake today.
This eagle flew past me and it was panting –
and still panting when it landed.
A lot of the other birds were this hot too.

Most of the photographers and bird watchers at Jordan Lake
have noted the intense direct stare at them of an osprey as he passes by with his catch.
Is he proud or is it he wants to be certain what the predator – the human – is doing?
I think it is some of both reactions – and thought provoking for me.

oh, sometimes, I get such a different point of view…..
such as this great blue heron flying directly over my friend and I
and sometimes,
black and white photos are the best for displaying life’s variety
