While it's no match for actually spending time with them, editing images of the winged jewels makes for a nice second place on a cold winter day. I am counting down the days until their return to their Rocky Mountain home!

With today's sustained "W" speeds reaching 40-60mph and gusts expected in the 80-100mph range, I am maintaining sanity with more placid summer views. As I've long said, living in any paradise has its price...

Following up the last two day's posts with the back-story. The hawk had alit on the higher perch, ruffling the eagle a little. After a few minutes, the hawk decided to move on, but not before some harsh words from the eagle

Just doing some pre-flight preening before the dramatic launch photoshoot and your session gets photobombed by a couplle little pranksters...

A majestic fly-by captured on Tuesday morning's visit with the eagles out on the flatlands. Wishing you all a fabulous Feathers Friday out there, and hope you fly your way into a fantastic weekend!

While these magnificent creatures are (understandably) stereotyped in imagery surrounded by or standing proudly on rocky crags and sheer, unforgiving cliffs, I couldn't help but frame a few portraits of a "softer side" among the autumnal scenery.

Joining the cavalcade of lights parading social media this morning with one of my own takes from last evening's spectacular display. Hoping conditions allow for more fun this evening with a more powerful wave expected!
