I have enjoyed nature and it's beauty for as long as I can remember. Photographing it to share is a new hobby. I still have much to learn. Any helpful hints and constructive criticism is always welcome.


I will try to post new items weekly so check back. It is my pleasure to share nature's gifts with you. I find myself amazed at some of the beauty I find while out for a walk.

Enjoying the Eagles

I spent a sunny, warm 45 degree February day at Starved Rock, eagle watching.  After the bitter cold the last month, it was a wonderful change.  There were still a few hundred eagles feeding at the dam area.  With the ice melting more each day and the river opening up, the eagles are moving to other feeding grounds.  I was able to get a few shots that came out well.  I also enjoyed getting closeups of an adult eagle eating a fish it had just caught. 






Definitely a satisfied look.

One got a fish.


Not the crispest of shots, but liked the composition.
